Polycarp's 86 years old, old man.
For 86 years I have been his servant, and he has done me no wrong.
How can I now blaspheme my King and Savior?
He's going to contend for the faith to the end.
Because Christ has done him no wrong.
And every single Christian can do that.
We just substitute our number into it.
Sixteen years, 26 years, 36 years, 46 years, 66 years.
When we are in eternity and in the future and we have been there for two millennia, we can say for 2016 years, he has done me no wrong.
He's worth contending for.
His church is worth contending for.
His Word is worth contending for.
This faith is worth contending for.
Let's just do it with a Christian ethic.
We cannot pick and choose what parts of the Bible to believe and which parts we can reject.
As others have said, it takes a whole Bible to make a whole Christian.
