Ready to Answer

In every generation, it falls to believers to spend some time in defending our worldview as Christians. Honestly, it’s not the nicest part of the gig, but it’s necessary.

Usually, it involves simply explaining what your faith is all about. Followers of other religions do the same thing, but for us, we are sharing the person of Christ with those who don’t know Him. That makes it a big deal.

Jude 1:3 says, “Dear friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you about the salvation we all share. But now I find that I must write about something else, urging you to defend the faith that God has entrusted once for all time to his holy people.”

It’s exciting that God has entrusted this to us. It’s a privilege. Even if you find yourself in an adversarial conversation, (and — they’re not all adversarial), but if it is, remember the main thing: you get to share your faith and see someone else find freedom in Christ!

Let’s pray.

Lord, thank you for allowing us to tell others about you. Help us always be ready to give an answer when asked about our faith. Amen.
