Exodus 30:11-38; Psalm 78:32-72; Acts 18:1-23
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 2 Timothy 4:7 NKJV
Some Christians are good fighters in bad battles. They are focused and feisty and often pursue points of controversy rather than seeking common ground with the same vigour. Using the imagery of an athletic contest, Paul looks at the finish line with joy knowing he has expended his energy on contending in the only “good” contest, which was fidelity to Christ and the Gospel and fulfilling the ministry given to him. Am I engaged in the good fight or in some other
lesser cause? —Peter Ramsay
Fight the good fight with all your might,
Christ is your strength and Christ your right.
Lay hold on life, and it shall be,
Your joy and crown eternally. —J. Monsell
