Defending the faith—Prayer for January 10. Apologetics is an act of defending the Christian faith, and as a Christian in this generation, it is necessary.
Bible Verse for Today
“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.” (1 Peter 3:15)
A wide range of knowledge is required to practice apologetics because the questions raised that are to be addressed are often taken from the scope of Christian philosophy and its practice. Questions like “Who is God?” and “Is God real?” are mostly taken from the philosophy of Christianity and related to the philosophies of others.
In some arguments that involve a naturist or an atheist, to clear their doubts, one must have an understanding of nature relating it to the things of God as recorded in the scriptures. There are lots of people out there who are giving up on Christianity; the atheists are brainwashing them.
As Christians, we can’t sit back and watch these things happen. We must rise up and stop false philosophies against Christianity.
According to 1 Peter 3:15, any time we want to speak to people about Christianity or God, we should do it with meekness. It is not something we make to become violent or do with violence; it must be done with love and show others why following Jesus is the right thing to do.
Paul is an example. Whenever he faced the authorities, he never denounced the Christian faith; instead, he defended it at all costs. People want to see the seriousness of Christians; they want to see that we are following the orders of God and doing the right thing.
Devotional for every day: Daily Devotional
It is not until we open our mouths to talk that we defend the Christian faith; our actions speak, too. Sometimes, people prefer to read us rather than listen to what we say. Let’s, by all means, defend the Christian faith through the power of God in Jesus Christ.
Defending the Faith – Prayer for Today
Heavenly Father, I believe that Jesus Christ is your Son, whom you have sent to die for the world. I believe in Him, and for this reason, I am saved. I want the world to know this and use my testimony to clear up philosophies raised against Christianity. Lord, help me defend the faith. Amen.
