"Be Ready to Make A Defense"
“Be Ready to Make A Defense”
Blessings folk!
In what do you trust?
Relationships?
They will fail you…
The stock market?
Better not look at it today…
Your abilities?
Well, we all know better…
Yesterday we saw that the Lord has called us to be on the alert and to be ready.
For what?
For what comes our way.
For what He desires to do through us and speak through us.
1Pe 3:14-16
But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED,
but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;
and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.
Do not fear…even if you suffer for the sake of righteousness.
Do not fear their intimidation.
Do not be troubled.
How?
By sanctifying Christ as Lord in your heart.
By trusting in Him.
Psa 20:7
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
Be ready to make a defense to everyone.
Be ready to give an account of the hope in you.
Be ready to behave as Christ would
Be ready!
Be alert!
Rejoice!
Things are gonna get worse…
