15 Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it. ~ 1 Peter 3:15NLT
We live in a world that doesn’t know God, nor does it desire to know God. In fact, it desires to shut God out and silence His believers. The world tries to put us on the spot and intimidate us into not believing by mocking our beliefs in front of others, but don’t let them get the best of you. Stand up for your faith. The message of the cross is foolishness to the unbeliever, but to us who believe it is the very power of God. And who knows, maybe a seed will be planted that will one day grow into a fruitful tree of faith.
This is the importance of knowing your Bible. This is the importance of knowing and understanding why you believe what you believe. How can the unbeliever ever understand and come to acceptance if the believer doesn’t know or understand what they believe? We have to be ready to explain our hope in God. We have to be ready to explain our love for God. We have to know what we believe and why. The only way we can do that is if we read our Bible and strengthen our relationship with God. We have to go deeper than just a Sunday Christian. We have to be an everyday Christian who seeks and worships God every day. We have to lead the world to the light; if the light in us is dim, how can we lead anyone through the darkness? So, strengthen your faith so that you may lead others to Jesus.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Plant Many Seeds.
