Paul is going to command Timothy to fight the good fight, keep the faith and good conscience. The church needs good, solid, Biblical leadership that is willing to fight for the Bride of Christ. We do not waiver on our doctrine and we do not give way to sinfulness. Sometimes fighting means leaning in to love and serve, while other times it means putting people out of the church. We fight the good fight through the strength given to us by Christ Jesus. Holding fast to the truth, sharing the hope of the gospel, so that others may know His saving grace.
