Being Prepared

"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..."

Let’s discuss the following question in pairs.

  • How prepared am I to give an answer for why I believe in Jesus Christ?

 

Many of us are scared to get into sharing what we believe with people because of the objections that some have to belief. It’s important to remember though that most non-Christians are not out to get us. If we are putting into practice the things we have learnt in this series, by and large they will treat us with respect. They’ll genuinely be interested in us, and what it is we believe. Rather than firing all their hardest questions at us to begin, they will simply be curious to see what makes us tick.

It’s essential to learn a way to do this in order to communicate properly to a person what it means to be a Christian.
