1 Timothy 6:12 (ESV) — 12 Fight the good fight
of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about
which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
NOTE: What is
eternal life, beside living forever? It has always been a quality of life
(abundant life) as well as life that never ends. It starts the moment we make
the good confession, putting our faith in Jesus Christ for the taking away of
our sins. How do you take hold of eternal life? Even though it starts
immediately, one can continue to live like those in rebellion, and miss out on
the abundant aspect of eternal life. Only when we live as God intended,
according to his word, can we truly experience the peace and joy that God
promises. Too many people settle for partial faith and continue to walk in the
ways of the world, bringing upon themselves many pains. We need to put away the past, the sins, and
the philosophy of life that destroyed our life, and put on Jesus, his life, his
nature, and his philosophy. We need to seek God with all of our hearts, and
love others as Jesus did. Only then can we know life as we were intended to
know it.
