some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced
themselves through with many sorrows. 11 But you, O man of God, flee these
things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience,
gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to
which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the
presence of many witnesses.
MAN OF GOD, should be a legacy that all Christians want to leave behind.
When people look at you what do they see? Do they see a person of faith or
just a person making it through the day? Our lives, our very essence should
be so wrap up in Christ that it makes it difficult to separate who we are.
To flee the worldly is never going to be easy and staying away from it is
very difficult as well. Christian's are to pursue, righteousness,
godliness, faith, love, patience, and gentleness. I have seen many
so-called Christian's make the confession and then fall away. My heart
breaks not only for them, but for their families that need their godly
example to help them find their way to heaven. People get so wrapped up in
things that have NO eternal value. Brethren, may we fight the good fight of
faith and have a good confession till either Jesus comes back or we go to
Him.
