  Can you think of a time when you were called upon to give a defense of your faith in Christ? If so, briefly explain.

  I can recalled when I was preparing to give my live fully to Christ I could not compile an answer to the question I was asked “Why” I then realized that I have no complete answer, I did’nt know much about the Bible, I only knew the verses, specifically John 3:16 and 1 Corinthians 3:16 . Even though I have been attending church and reading the Bible for many years I could not at that time explain the two of the many important verses and to also
  to confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and to believe in my heart that God raised him from the dead to save us from our sins, as I do now. Praised the Lord.

  When joining my last church we had to give a testimony of how we came to believe in Jesus Christ. During that I explained how God has worked in my life over the years and the times when I was in situations and prayed for answers and how God answered those prayers. That’s how I know God is real and why I came to believe in the word of God.

  Many times I have been asked to give a defense of my faith. At times Ingot caught unprepared, not knowing what to say. Other times, I mumbled.

  Yes. Its was when I talk to my friend about my faith that God is totally purely good and He created this world. He asked me why there are sins, evil and bad things in this world and if God’s good and created everything. And how come God’s totally purely good but He give punishments. Those questions caused me to dig deeper into the Bible for a real and deep understanding of the nature of God and ready to explain. When skimming the Bible for that topics, I am more firm in my faith and in God.

  Yes, I can recall when I was working for 2 jewish dentists. The really challenged me with questions that I did not have answers for. As a matter of fact they for a time I started to doubt my beliefs. But I asked the Lord to show me the truth and He showed me. After that experience I began to have an interest in apologetics, I did not know at the time what it even was. So now I like to always have an answer to questions someone might ask.

    Hearing and preparing to answer this question can be quite challenging for some of us; but I always rely on the Holy Spirit to speak through me. This is something that I always pray about, and my God always prepares me, to give my reasons for my hope In Jesus Christ.

      Amen Sharon. I am just beginning this course. I have a friend that frequently reminds me that she does not believe in God. She once asked me why I never tell her that she is going to Hell. I want to help her to experience the God that I know.

        I want to completely rely on God’s beautiful Holy Spirit. I’m studying apologetics to give Him more to work with. I’ve already experienced the fountain of living waters spilling out of me, causing a wolf in sheep’s clothing to turn tail – I trust God to speak. Holy Spirit led me to a ministry which offers apologetics, and I see the value of having information on-board that Holy Spirit can use to dismantle strongholds.
