TEXT - Fight the good fight
of faith. lay hold on eternal
life. whereunto thou art also
called. and hast professed a
good profession before many
witnesses.
This scripture has to do
with instructing the Christian
who has become discouraged
in their Christian life because
Of opposition.
The resources of faith are
unlimited, but we must use
the faith we have before we
will have more faith, for faith
IS substance of things not seen.
We can overcome any OBJ
stacle which is a hindrance to
our good and the cause of
Christ. Also, our doubts will
flee and eternal salvation be-
comes more real.

The purpose of the hearing
