Biblical Answer

The point of fighting when the outcome is already certain is not about winning or losing, but about living a life that reflects Christian values and teachings. As the Bible says, "For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong" (2 Corinthians 12:10). This means that even when the outcome is certain, we should still stand firm in our faith and continue to support those who stand with us. The result of doing so is that when we have done the will of God, we will receive what he has promised (Matthew 7:7-11).

Fighting in this sense is not about physical or intellectual conflict, but about spiritual warfare. As Paul says, "For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but have divine power to destroy strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:3-4). This means that we have been given all the resources of Jesus Christ in our fight, and that victory is assured. Instead of throwing confidence away by trying to last long enough to slow the inevitable onslaught of the enemy, we should stand firm in our faith and continue to support those who stand with us.

The idea that there is no point in fighting when the outcome is already certain is a form of spiritual compromise. It is a way of avoiding the intellectual conflict and the spiritual warfare that is necessary for growth and maturity in the faith. As Jesus said, "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed" (John 20:29). This means that even when we cannot see the outcome, we should still believe and have faith in God's promises. By doing so, we will be able to stand firm in our faith and continue to support those who stand with us, even in the face of opposition and adversity. Ultimately, the point of fighting when the outcome is already certain is not about winning or losing, but about living a life that reflects Christian values and teachings, and about trusting in God's sovereignty and providence.
