The Good Fight
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.” (2 Timothy 4:7)
What a testimony! How I long to be able to say that when my race is over. It is not always easy to fight the good fight but I remind myself that it is so worth it. To be able to reach the end of life and have my Father look at me with love in His eyes and say, “Well done, my faithful daughter, enter into your rest” will be a blessing beyond words. No amount of worldly pleasure can compare with that, and that is what my eyes are on.
If you have been tempted to give in lately, let me remind you that sin may seem pleasurable for a season but the punishment for sin is death. Even if you later repent, there may be consequences you will have to live with the rest of your life. It’s really not worth it.
We sing “I Surrender All” but I wonder how many people can honestly say they have totally surrendered to Christ to the point that they would do whatever He asks of them. I hope you can say that. He would not tell us that He would provide a way of escape if it weren’t true. Repent of your sins, and He will deliver you from whatever sins are a part of you today. It’s so important.
