Biblical Answer

Why We Fight

We fight for a number of reasons, but primarily, we fight because we have a purpose in life, and our purpose is to glorify God. As Christians, we have a mandate from God to advance His kingdom, and that mandate often requires us to engage in spiritual battles. We may not win every battle, but we must continue to fight, because our ultimate goal is not to win on this earth but to receive our ultimate victory in heaven. Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of darkness that seek to destroy our lives and our relationships.

Why We Must Fight

We must fight because the battle for our lives is fought and won in our minds. If we don't take control of our minds, we will lose the battle. God wants us to take control of our minds through the power of His Holy Spirit. We can think our way into changing our lives for good. We must fight because our faith keeps us fighting, whether we seem to be winning or not. We keep fighting because it's the right thing to do. We must fight because God gives us other people so that we do not fight alone. We must fight because we have a self-centered heart that needs to be examined and repented of.

The Nature of the Battle

The battle we fight is not a physical battle but a spiritual one. It's a battle for our minds, our hearts, and our relationships. We must engage in this battle with the right mindset, knowing that we have a beachhead of victory through Christ. We must persevere in this battle, even when it feels like we're losing. We must know that our ultimate victory is not on this earth but in heaven. We must understand that God is with us, fighting for us, and giving us the resources we need to win this battle. We must remember that our purpose is to glorify God, and that purpose is worth fighting for. We must fight with the right mindset, with the right tools, and with the right support. We must fight because it's the right thing to do, because it's our purpose, and because we have a victory waiting for us in heaven.
