Life is a battle for everyone no matter their background or their status in life. However, what does separate people in this life is their willingness to stand for something. So we have to fight in this battle known as life. But what do we fight for? Simple, FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT!
In 1st Timothy chapter 6, Paul advised Timothy to "Fight the good fight of Faith". In Jude chapter 3, we are told to "Earnestly contend for the Faith". Both of these verses talk about fighting, why? It is because God has a history of choosing warriors and soldiers who were willing to fight for something. In other words, they were willing to stand for something. At this point, when God reveals the Truth to them, they are then willing to stand for Him.
