Be Prepared!

1 Peter 3: 15

But in your hearts set apart 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.

 

This is one of those Bible verses, that sometimes easily falls through the cracks.

For anyone who asks us about our faith in Christ, we should be prepared to give some response.

 

Faith in Christ, is not a fairy tale as some would believe, but there are grave life & death issues, for those who choose not to believe.

There’s a question that I often have to ask myself…

“If I truly value my relationship with Father God, how much of my time do I plan to give Him today?”

 

Sometimes, I liken this ultimate choice, with someone flying in an airplane, and the engine stops running.

If given a parachute, that person has a choice of riding that airplane into the ground, or jumping to safety.

One could even doubt whether or not the parachute is going to do its job—but you had better decide quickly, before it’s too late.

 

When God is the very center of my life, it controls everything I say and do—or at least it should.

There was a time in my life, when I could not come to grips with people who were willing to die for their faith—but not the older I get, I understand that position quite clearly.

It does not seem like too many people are willing to go to the gallows for their faith anymore.

Actually, I’m not sure too many are willing to make a defense of their faith.

 

A great theologian once said… “Our lives begin to end, the day we become silent, about the things that matter most.”

Well said, indeed…
