The Point of Fighting: Why It's Worth the Struggle

When we feel like we're losing, it's easy to question the point of fighting. We may feel like we're making little progress, or that our efforts are futile. However, as Christians, we know that the battle is not just external, but also internal. We must fight the battle before God, settling the matter once and for all. This means that we must get alone with God, seeking His guidance and strength in the midst of conflict.

Why We Must Keep Fighting

So, why must we keep fighting, even when it feels like we're losing? First, our faith keeps us fighting. We know that our ultimate victory is not in this world, but in heaven. Second, we must persevere in the face of prolonged warfare. We may not win every battle, but we must continue to fight, trusting in God's sovereignty and provision. Third, we must recognize that our own spiritual weakness can hinder our progress. We must examine ourselves, repent of our sins, and seek spiritual resources to fight a winning battle.

The Importance of Community and Purpose

In addition to these reasons, we must also recognize the importance of community and purpose in our fight. We are not alone in our battles; God gives us other people to support and encourage us. We must call for help when we feel exhausted, and rely on the church to function as a tag-team wrestling match. Furthermore, we must ensure that our struggles fit within our life purpose. If our battles distract us from our ultimate goal, we must re-evaluate and refocus our efforts. By doing so, we can continue to fight with confidence, knowing that God is with us and that our ultimate victory is assured.
