Written by Pastor Jack Wellman15 Encouraging Quotes about Fighting the Good Fight
What does it mean to “fight the good fight”? Isn’t fighting bad? Fighting for foolish or selfish purposes certainly is, but according to Matthew 10:34, Jesus Himself said: “I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.” The Christian walk is a battle, whether we like it or not, because we have a very real enemy. In this case, it is good to fight against all of the works of the devil. Also, a “good fight” is one where you already know who the winner is. And Jesus has already won!

Outside of Christ, I am only a sinner, but in Christ, I am saved. Outside of Christ, I am empty; in Christ, I am full. Outside of Christ, I am weak; in Christ, I am strong.
