The Man of God...

(1) Flees Sin

I need to be relentless in running away from evil. There is no cowardice in running from things that dishonor the Lord. In fact, it is actually wise. Great illustration from Pastor Ed: When you meet a bear, you do not confront it. Instead, you RUN!!

(2) Pursues Virtue

I need to spend time in things that make an eternal difference. I need to be spending time in prayer, the Word of God, serving, worship.

(3) Keeps God's Commandments

Obedience to God waiting for the revealing of the Lord Jesus Christ.

(4) Fights the Good Fight

In a world of lies, as the apostle Jude declares, I need to earnestly "contend for faith" that was once delivered for all the saints. We take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ and destroy every false idea and speculation raised up against the knowledge of God (2 Corin. 10:3-5).
