Fight The Good Fight Of Faith

TRANSCRIPT

Good evening, everyone. I praise the Lord for giving me the grace, strength, and wisdom to preach His Word during the YPG camp, and for this additional opportunity to share His Word tonight. May He be with me and enable me to preach His Word so that all of us may be spiritually fed and nourished by His Word, and that our souls may be lifted up spiritually.

I. The Call To Spiritual Battle

Deacon James has just read our text for this evening from 1 Timothy 6:12: “Fight the good fight of faith.” We cannot live the Christian life without engaging in this battle. As we engage, it involves both fighting and yielding to the Lord. We must be like faithful, hardworking carpenters who build a house with great diligence, careful planning, and a strong desire to make it both strong and beautiful.

Even Solomon in his book of Ecclesiastes said (Ecclesiastes 10:18): “By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through.” Aiming for quality work in building construction is the goal of every engineer, architect, and carpenter. This is what the owner wants it to be. Our Christian lives must be built with the same quality. The building up of one's Christian faith must be done in a quality and excellent manner according to the Bible and God's Word.

The neglect of Christian duty by failing to fight the good fight of faith will destroy one's Christian life and lead to a defeated existence. We must be utterly faithful in our service, engaging wholeheartedly in this war against our enemy, the Devil. It is abundantly clear that Jesus Christ promised an abundant life to everyone who believes in Him. Yet this abundant life promised by the Lord cannot be received casually or taken lightly. It requires labor, travail, and great devotion - it demands earnest effort empowered by God's grace, enabling us to truly fight the good fight of faith.

As we know from John 10:10: “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” If a Christian grows careless and fails to exert vigorous effort against the enemy, he will face defeat and forfeit the blessed, abundant life promised by the Lord.

Indeed, the Lord has promised this abundant life as His gift to every Christian - that we may be forgiven, accepted as God's children, and inherit eternal life in His kingdom. But this is not given so we may relax our spiritual vigilance. Rather, it comes with a sacred invitation to fulfill our duty by fighting the good fight of faith.

II. The Enemy’s Tactics

For it is very clear in Ephesians 6:12: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” The Devil, who comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, is our enemy. He is the prince of this world, and he is utterly real. He is intensely real and actively working against us even at this very moment in our lives.

I praise the Lord for giving me the opportunity to minister to the youth with the message He gave me. I was tasked to preach to them on the topic: “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth” (Ecclesiastes 12:1). Every Christian—young and old alike—is fiercely hated by the Devil. He doesn't want them active in the church. He seeks to kill and destroy them so they cannot experience abundant life. This is especially true for youth—the Devil wants the 'cream and flower' of their youth, the best years of their lives, given to him, leaving only leftovers for God.

We all know Solomon's story. We know how wise he was, for God gave him wisdom. Yet we also know how he failed to fight the good fight of faith. We saw him fall into sin, surrendering years of his life to the enemy by yielding to temptation and willfully rebelling against God's will.

He married women who were not Israelites, and these women turned his heart to worship idols—not just for one year, but for many years. We all know that Ecclesiastes was written only in his old age, during those final years when he finally realized: "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity!" (Ecclesiastes 1:2).

We cannot deny that most of the prime of his life—the ‘cream and flower’—was spent not for God’s glory, but for the enemy, the Devil. The moment he indulged in sin, he failed to glorify God. He yielded completely to the enemy, surrendering himself to sin. The life that should have glorified God instead brought shame to the name of the Lord he claimed to love and worship.

This is exactly what the Devil wants for us—especially for young people. He wants the best years of your life, when you have all your energy and strength—the "cream and flower" of your youth—to be given to him. Solomon realized too late that if given another chance, he would have devoted his youth entirely to serving the Lord God Almighty, giving his very best—the flower and cream of his life—for God’s glory alone.

But we all know the ‘cream and flower’ of his life was given to the Devil. Only the leftovers were reserved for the LORD. He repented only in his old age—when he could no longer walk properly, when his eyes grew dim. No matter how fervently he desired to serve God, while his heart was willing, his body had grown weak. This strong body we have today—yours and mine—must be devoted to God’s glory. Solomon’s life teaches us this tragic lesson: when the best of his years were given to the enemy, only the remnants remained for God in his old age.

Yet the LORD, in His grace, forgave Solomon—even when repentance came so late, on his deathbed. We cannot comprehend such magnificent grace! But let no one say, ‘Since Solomon was forgiven, we can indulge in worldly pleasures.’ Absolutely not! God’s mercy is no license for sin.

Solomon stands not as our example but as our warning. We dare not use his failure to excuse our own sin—"God forbid!" (Romans 6:1-2). Rather, let his life teach us this: if Solomon (even the wisest man) failed, how much more do we need God’s power to remain victorious? Therefore, the ‘cream and flower’ of my life—my best years, my strongest days—must be consecrated to His name alone, for His glory alone.

May the church of God flourish abundantly! If each of us would strive earnestly to serve God and fight the good fight of faith, His grace and His Holy Spirit are powerful enough to deliver us from sin's pitfalls—just as Solomon eventually experienced. Therefore, we must always remember that we face a wicked enemy, and we must never allow ourselves to become idle. As Solomon said, idle and slothful construction workers will never build a good and strong structure. (Ecclesiastes 10:18)

III. The Victory In Christ

Your life must be built on a strong foundation—the Lord Jesus Christ and His Word—and we must never take this for granted. By God's grace and mercy, we must diligently work to build ourselves up in Christ. As Peter warns in 1 Peter 5:8: "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour." Consider Solomon—though he was the wisest man apart from Christ (1 Kings 3:12; 4:29-31; Matthew 12:42)—he still fell into sin and endured a life of misery. The truth is clear: our enemy, the Devil, is indeed that roaring lion. But we are called to fight!

The LORD has not given us a spirit of weakness, but a spirit of victory in the Lord Jesus Christ. This is why we must fight—what Scripture calls "the good fight of faith" (1 Timothy 6:12). What a sacred battle we are engaged in! Christians—you and I—are called by the Lord to this noble struggle—fight the good fight of faith.

Even Peter, in exhorting believers, declared in 1 Peter 1:8: "Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory." This truth should shape our Christian walk—that though we don't see Him, we believe He is present with us.

Consider Solomon: when the visible beauty of the world captivated him and God's presence grew dim through his disobedience, he embraced worldly pleasures. We know how his life crumbled as a result. He failed to cherish the greater beauty of the invisible God.

God speaks to us through His creation. As the Westminster Standards declare (Chapter 4.1): where there is creation, there must be a Creator; where there is design, there must be a Designer. God Himself - through both Scripture and the Lord Jesus Christ - assures us profoundly of His presence. He is in this world and actively present in our lives. To fight the good fight of faith for His glory is our sacred privilege.

This truth demands our careful consideration: not everyone will value this spiritual battle. Unbelievers cannot comprehend it, nor perceive the beauty of this noble struggle in which we're engaged. Only truly born-again Christians, who see the Lord Jesus Christ through eyes of faith, will embrace this conflict. Do you possess this spiritual conviction? Solomon abandoned it. He failed. He was defeated, and his life became tragic.

Tonight, let us all remember: we could become like Solomon if we neglect our duty to fight the good fight of faith. This is indeed a good fight because we serve under the perfect Leader - our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Himself.

The Word of God declares in 1 John 4:4: "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." Solomon failed to grasp this truth. Perhaps he knew it intellectually, but through carelessness, idleness, and his eager pursuit of worldly pleasures, he failed to recognize that though God is invisible, He is ever-present and mightier than our enemy, the Devil. "Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world." While the prince of this world is indeed powerful, He who dwells within us—the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit—is infinitely greater.

We must understand that victory is our birthright—not merely a hopeful dream, but a present reality. The Lord Jesus Christ confirmed this promise through the Apostle Paul's testimony in Romans 8:37: "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."

Yet I've witnessed many friends in the House of Hope, Helping Hand, and care ministry who failed to walk in victory. Countless Christians worldwide share this struggle, not because victory is unavailable, but because they lack commitment to this spiritual battle. Their disinterest blinds them to the beauty of this fight and causes them to underestimate the supreme power of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Apostle John declares in 1 John 4:4: "Greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." This truth should become our daily reality - each morning when we wake, each day as we go to our work. Remember, our enemy the Devil prowls like a roaring lion, seeking to deceive and control us. He may appear overwhelmingly powerful, making us feel helpless.

Yet we only become powerless when we yield to him. But when we submit to the Lord and walk in the Spirit - as Scripture commands in James 4:8, "Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you" - then we truly see the beauty of God's promise: "Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world" (1 John 4:4). There's no place for defeat in our lives, for we serve under:

• The perfect Captain (Hebrews 2:10)
• The faithful Leader
• The good Shepherd who "gave his life for the sheep" (John 10:11)
• The mighty Victor who "was manifested to destroy the works of the devil" (1 John 3:8)

Therefore, the Christian life involves this good fight - a fight made victorious because we follow our divine Leader, the Shepherd and Savior of our souls, our glorious Redeemer.

IV. The Call To Faithfulness

This is indeed a good fight because we possess powerful weapons. As Ephesians 6:10-11 reminds us, we have been given ‘the whole armour of God.’ The Bible we hold in our hands represents this divine armor - our essential weapon for victory against our enemy, the Devil. This armor is available to us daily, and we must actively use it every day to secure our victory.

Ours is truly a good fight because we follow the perfect Commander - our faithful Leader and holy Redeemer leads us all the way. He has equipped us with the most powerful weapon: His Word. As Ephesians 6:17 clearly states: "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." There exists no more potent weapon against our spiritual enemies.

Consider this comparison: It would be absurd to imagine America losing to the Philippines in a matter of minutes. Whether America or China were to attack the Philippines, there would be no conceivable way for the Philippines to emerge victorious overnight. Such an outcome would be completely impossible.

This serves as a simple illustration. We all know China possesses formidable military strength, while the Philippines maintains only about ten outdated jet fighters. Humanly speaking, the Philippines could never defeat China, as their military capabilities are vastly superior.
