Christians, Be Ready!
“God has intentionally and strategically placed you in circles
of people who need to meet Jesus. Are you looking for them?” -Chris Wall
1 PETER 3:15
“But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have, But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience...”
Be ready to give an answer when someone asks you about your faith. In seminary, we call this apologetics. Contrary to what you might think, this does not mean you are to apologize for your faith. Instead, “apologetics” comes from the Greek word that means to give a defense as in front of a judge. Can you defend your faith? It is not enough for you to demonstrate your faith, you must also defend your faith. If you ran into someone who was dying and he asked you to share your faith with him, could you? You need to be ready. You need to also be reasonable. You need to study God’s Word and know what it says about salvation, sin, heaven, and hell. Are you ready? If not, get ready today. There’s no better time.
Do you know why you believe? Do you know what you believe? If not, then it’s time you spent some serious time each day in God’s Word and asked Him to show you His Truth. Ask God to send you an older Christian who will disciple you, and commit to a lifetime of loving God and sharing His Truth with others. It is why you are here.
