But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear. — 1 Peter 3:15 KJV
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 NIV
Today's Thought and Reflection
We need to be ready and able to share with others about the hope Jesus has given to us! When we speak of this faith, two aspects are essential: First is our credibility whether or not Jesus is truly the Lord of our lives. And second is our character whether or not we are showing gentleness and respect the way we persuade others.
It is not the goal to win arguments but to win hearts towards God.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your amazing grace through Jesus. I’m not sure I would have heard any other message than this.
Grant me the conviction I need to share my hope in Christ in a way that reflects Your grace. I pray this in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
