Fight the good fight of faith.

1 Timothy 6:7, 12 NKJV

For we brought nothing into  this  world,  and   it is  certain we can carry nothing out. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

Shalom! Day #12. Weather clear. Sun - got. Everything is at its place. And hey it's Saturday! Today, the world does not promises anything for us. It only gives disappointments, anger, hatred, terrorism nothing good. Deception, money lovers, and so on. Only in Jesus there is true joy, peace and satisfaction. Let's pray. Father, I commit this day into Your hands, as I study You word, teach me the depths of Your word, in Jesus name we pray, amen.

Rich is getting rich and the poor is getting poor. For we brought nothing into  this  world,  and   it is  certain we can carry nothing out. When we came into this world, we did not bring any single thing. The only thing according to me, that we brought when we came to this world is joy to our parents. We did not come to this world bringing money and so on, and when we leave this earth we are not gonna bring anything as well. The only thing that will be with us is our faith in Christ Jesus and  the joy of salvation. There is a word in the book of James, "naked I come, naked I shall go." It means when we die, there is nothing for us to take accept the faith in Jesus and the joy of salvation. No money, no status, no nothing. Again if you don't have Jesus, well there is nothingness  and there is nothing, NOTHING a total zero thing that we will bring back, not even Faith.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. Some people because of circumstances they began to astray away from the faith they have in Jesus. Why? Because Jesus was just like another religion. They have not really experience the person of Jesus and very easily be caught in deception and there goes a soul eternally to hell. The meaning of fighting the good fight of Faith is, standing up for the faith that you believe in. Not FIGHTING. Such as war and so on. That's not what Jesus's teachings is about. You have been called for eternal life, yet because we choose not to go the way God has prepared for us, we tend to slip away from the way, the truth and the life and began to embrace something which doesn't really hold the answers for eternal life and doesn't have any answer for the meaning of life and eerily go on that way of destruction and totally wiping out our name from the book of Life.

Why no longer we are interested in the truth when we are already in the centre of the Truth? A question for everyone to think of.

Why Jesus? What does Jesus has to say about this issues? His description of who you are and who I am, is more perfectly described by Him than anyone has ever described your heart.

There is a quoting from Blaise Pascal
"Not only do we know God by Jesus Christ alone, but we know ourselves only by Jesus Christ. We know life and death only through Jesus Christ. Apart from Jesus Christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves."

Let this day be the day of the Lord! Gbu!
