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.
There is a vast quantity of religion current in the world which is not true, genuine Christianity. Of spiritual strife, warring, some know literally nothing at all. Such Christianity may satisfy man, and those who say anything against it may be thought very hard and uncharitable; but it certainly is not the Christianity of the Bible. It is not the religion which the Lord Jesus founded, and His Apostles preached. It is not the religion which produces real holiness. True Christianity is a fight.
~J.C. Ryle (Holiness, 52)
