Our good fight of faith
consists in a considerable measure in our defense of the Word of
God, which includes also our defense of the character of God. This
will mean our willingness to stand for the Truth at any cost and
against any number of assailants against the creeds and theories of
men, which would misrepresent the good tidings of great joy which
the Lord and the Apostles have announced, and which shall, thank
God, yet be unto all people. As the Apostle again says, “I am set
for the defence of the Gospel.” We can do no less than defend the
Truth. The Truth is God’s representative, Christ’s representative,
and hence our standard, and as true soldiers we must defend our
standard, even unto death. |
