The apostle Paul is having a conversation with Timothy that we can get a lot from. He is reminding and encouraging Timothy to fight for the faith in Christ by staying away from the messy stuff off the world, and fighting to stay connected to the things God would have him fighting for. Especially in the times we are in now, we have to fight for righteousness, endurance, love and peace. The good Godly things of life. What about you? What are you fighting for?

1 Timothy 6: 11-16 (CEB)

11 But as for you, man of God, run away from all these things. Instead, pursue righteousness, holy living, faithfulness, love, endurance, and gentleness. 12 Compete in the good fight of faith. Grab hold of eternal life—you were called to it, and you made a good confession of it in the presence of many witnesses. 13 I command you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and Christ Jesus, who made the good confession when testifying before Pontius Pilate. 14 Obey this order without fault or failure until the appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 The timing of this appearance is revealed by God alone, who is the blessed and only master, the King of kings and Lord of lords. 16 He alone has immortality and lives in light that no one can come near. No human being has ever seen or is able to see him. Honor and eternal power belong to him. Amen.
