Biblical Answer

The Bible tells us that the point of fighting is not to assert ourselves against the world, but to assert ourselves against the evil within us. As the Apostle Paul wrote, "Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members?" (James 4:1). This means that the root of our struggles is not external, but internal. It is not the world that is against us, but our own sinful desires that are at war within us. The Bible teaches us that we must fight this internal battle in the presence of God, not against the world. As Paul wrote, "Get alone with God, do battle before Him, and settle the matter once and for all." (2 Corinthians 10:5).

The Bible also teaches us that the point of fighting is to assert our commitment to justice and righteousness. As the Bible says, "Whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God" (Romans 13:2). This means that we must stand against evil and injustice, even if it means standing alone. But we must not do this in our own strength, but in the strength of God. As Paul wrote, "Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Ephesians 6:11). This means that we must be willing to fight, but we must also be willing to lose the argument in order to win the battle.

The Bible teaches us that the point of fighting is not to assert ourselves, but to assert the glory of Christ. As the Bible says, "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places" (Ephesians 6:12). This means that the enemy we are fighting is not the world, but the spiritual forces of darkness that seek to destroy us. Our fight is not against people, but against the powers of evil that seek to control them. As the Bible says, "The battle may take one minute or one year, but you will win if you persevere" (2 Corinthians 10:5). The point of fighting is not to win the argument, but to win the battle for the glory of Christ.
