Presentation Transcript

  1. 1 Timothy 6:11-12 New Living Translation 11 But you, Timothy, are a man of God; so run from all these evil things. Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance, and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses.

  2. Fighting the Good Fight Requires:

  3. Training

  4. 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 New Living Translation 26 For that reason, I don’t run just for exercise or box like one throwing aimless punches, 27 but I train like a champion athlete. I subdue my body and get it under my control, so that after preaching the good news to others I myself won’t be disqualified.

  5. 1 Timothy 4:8 New Living Translation Physical training is good, but training for godliness is much better, promising benefits in this life and in the life to come.

  6. Taking a few blows

  7. John 16:33 New Living Translation “…I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.”

  8. Knowing who the enemy is

  9. 1. Satan & his forces

  10. Ephesians 6:12 New Living Translation For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.

  11. 2 Corinthians 10:4 New Living Translation The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

  12. Ephesians 6:18 New Living Translation Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.

  13. 2. My sin nature

  14. Galatians 5:17 New Living Translation The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions.

  15. Romans 7:22-23 New Living Translation 22 Truly, deep within my true identity, I love to do what pleases God. 23 But I discern another power operating in my humanity, waging a war against the moral principles of my conscience and bringing me into captivity as a prisoner to the “law” of sin—this unwelcome intruder in my humanity.

  16. Romans 7:24-25a New Living Translation 24 Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? 25 Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord.

  17. Ephesians 6:13 New Living Translation Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.

  18. “We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender...” Winston Churchill
