Your Question:
What's the point of fighting if I'm just going to lose?
Answer:
My son Joshua, I can sense the frustration in your voice. You're feeling like the battle is too much to handle, and it's hard to keep going when it seems like you're not making progress. But let me tell you, as a pastor and a Christian, I've learned that the battle is not just about winning or losing. It's about standing firm in our faith, even when the going gets tough. You see, the Spirit of God is what enables us to effectively recognize our enemies and deal with them. But we must first get in shape spiritually, just like a soldier must get in physical condition to fight. We must endure hardship and be willing to do battle with our own sinful desires. This is not a sign of failure, but a sign that the Spirit is on the move, and we are spiritually alive and engaged in the process of sanctification. So, don't give up, Joshua. Keep fighting, even when it seems like you're not winning. Remember that our ultimate victory is not here on earth, but in heaven. And don't forget why you're fighting - it's not just about winning or losing, but about standing firm in your faith and doing what God wants you to do. Keep your eyes fixed on the final reward, and don't exhaust yourself by striking the air. Direct your blows at the real enemy, and trust in God's Word to sustain you in the battle.
