"Fight the good fight of faith..." (1 Tim. 6:12)
By J.C. Ryle
(1816-1900)
It is a curious fact that there is no subject about which most
people feel such deep interest as “fighting.” Young men and
maidens, old men and little children, high and low, rich and poor,
learned and unlearned, all feel a deep interest in wars, battles,
and fighting....But, reader, there is another warfare of far greater
importance than any war that was ever waged by man. It is a warfare
which concerns not two or three nations only, but every Christian
man and woman born into the world. The warfare I speak of is the
spiritual warfare. It is the fight which every one who would be
saved must fight about his soul.
