Are you ready to explain the reason for your faith?
What if someone asks you, “Where was God when my father died?” or “Where is God when innocent people are suffering in wars?”
In a time when many hearts are growing cold, we need to keep ours burning for Jesus ❤️🔥. That means preparing ourselves with wisdom and truth.
How can we be equipped? Here are 6 ways:
- Read the Bible daily — let God’s Word shape your thoughts and refresh your soul.
- Pray for wisdom and discernment — the Holy Spirit gives clarity when human words fall short.
- Learn from those mature in faith — seek guidance from your pastor and walk with people who have walked with Jesus longer.
- Join a Bible study group — so you can wrestle with questions and grow together.
- Memorize key verses — so God’s truth is ready on your lips when doubts or questions come.
-
Read Christian books or listen to sermons — to deepen your understanding and perspective.
👉 When we are equipped and let the Holy Spirit lead us, we can stand firm and lovingly point others to the unshakable hope we have in Christ.
"But in your hearts revere 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" 1 Peter 3:15
"Heavenly Father, help me honor Your name and stand up for Your truth in every circumstance. Grant me wisdom and discernment to lead people to Jesus. Amen"
