When it said “Fight the good fight” to me i got some what of what ally got. We need to keep God in the hearts even when the times get rough and always remeber that God is right beside you no matter what happens and we should keep our chin held high and dont look back on the past and focus on the future.

This passage is really emphasizing the importance of pursuing righteousness by explaining what a great God we serve. To honor Him we should try our hardest to live they way he desires us to.

Thanks Ronnie for that last comment
I have been on myspace and not blogging, but thats because my priorites are not straight.
I am going to strive to fight the good fight and am very sorry for not blogging.

“take hold of the eternal life”
well to me this is saying to always remember what Christ promised us. That we have eternal life with Him. When times get rough we need to remember to not give in but what we are promised to.

fight the good fight of faith—sure wish we had a few of those in the student ministry that were willing to fight the good fight…to prioritize and when a lead corrects them or points out failures, instead of lashing back or making excuses, accept what we are trying to do and that we are here to help.

Not only are we charged to flee the lusts, we are charged to hold onto Christ and His promises until the second coming.

God also says that He possesses HIs own timing and will bring things to pass on HIs time.

What a charge. These verses emphasize that we have a responsibility in maintaining our walk with God. Godly characteristics are things that we are commanded to “take hold of”.
I like that Paul uses the phrase “fight the good fight”. That reminds me that living for the Lord is not always easy. Sometimes it’s an all out battle between our will and His. But we must press on.

This is a continuation of the previous passage, where Paul exhorts Timothy “But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.” and he goes on here to say “Fight the good fight of faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called…..” These are words to live our lives by. If we pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, etc, we cannot help but be in God’s will and following Him. We dont need to focus on a bunch of rules, we just need to pursue these qualities.
