1 Timothy 6:12

I Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith. The thought is of a soldier. See I Timothy 1:18. The Christian life is a struggle. Oppose hurtful earthful lusts, but seize upon eternal life. Hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. When called to eternal life. The "Speaker's Commentary" says, "This refers probably to his baptism, when, as we know from very early times, a public profession of faith was made.' Bengel writes, "The Divine call, and the confession of believers are correlatives; they imply each other.' Compare Acts 8:37.
