Biblical Answer

The point of fighting is to glorify God and to bring glory to Him in the process. As stated in the text, "The fight itself brings glory to him. This is a very important point: the battle is good. It is not a fight to hold our place against evil powers, but a fight to defend our children, our marriages, and our faith." The Bible also emphasizes the importance of fighting the good fight of faith, as seen in 1 Timothy 6:12, which says, "Fight the good fight of the faith; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses." This suggests that fighting is a necessary part of the Christian life, and that it is a way of demonstrating our commitment to God and our desire to live a life that honors Him.

However, the text also warns us that we often fight the wrong battles and in the wrong way. We may try to fight our battles in the external world before we have dealt with them in the internal world. This is a mistake, as it can lead to a lack of victory and a sense of defeat. Instead, we should first engage in spiritual combat, and then deal with the external world. As the text says, "Get alone with God, do battle before Him, and settle the matter once and for all." This requires a willingness to take the time to pray, seek God's guidance, and prepare ourselves for the battle ahead.

The point of fighting is not just to win, but to bring glory to God and to demonstrate our commitment to Him. As Paul says in 1 Corinthians 4:7, "But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I will not be a shame to Christ." This suggests that even in our struggles and conflicts, we can bring glory to God and demonstrate our commitment to Him. By fighting the good fight of faith, we can bring honor to God and demonstrate our desire to live a life that honors Him. As the text says, "The battle is good. It is not a fight to hold our place against evil powers, but a fight to defend our children, our marriages, and our faith." This is a battle that is worth fighting, and one that will bring glory to God.
