Christian Motto: Be Prepared - part 2

In part 1, we covered the verse I Peter 3:15 and learned about being prepared to

talk about our faith and to have answers ready for other's questions.  I often ask

others about their beliefs and some will reply that they are "private - just between

them and God".  Clearly, Peter did not advocate such a response!

 

    Questions may come from a stranger on a long airplane flight or a relative at a

funeral. A student of God's word will always be ready to explain the hope that others

see in their life.  Think about it and  perhaps write it out - so you will be prepared

We should enjoy talking about our Lord and Savior.  After all, he suffered and died,

so that we could live. 

What love!

It is one of the hardest things for me to do...as I was in a situation of high pressure many years ago and don't ever want someone to feel like I am pushing

Hugh - It does take some practice and you just tell them how it is for you.

William - I know what you mean and I may do a blog on sharing your faith with those who aren't asking, but this specifically is about when someone asks - do you have something ready to say, do you even know what you believe and why, is it your belief or something you read or heard in church?  This is from the heart stuff.

 On the pressure part tho it never has to be but just truth telling- & some may have a hard time receiving but  as the verse in Peter continues "do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander." 

Thanks for your comments and sharing.

Hi Kathleen...good post. Just be honest and spill your heart. I have gotten alot more open and will get very honest and I know that is God working in me. Still work to be done, but I'm still a work in progress.
