Are You Ready?
Peter's inspired words in 1Pet 3:15 are not optional for us today. They are not instructions reserved only for those who are able or those who are good at that kind of thing. These words come as an imperative from our Father: "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." Are you ready?
Are you ready to give a defense regarding your faith in Jesus? Is he the Son of God? Did he really come to earth from heaven? Did he really perform miracles? Did he really die and then come back to life after three days, as He had predicted? Are you ready to answer?
Are you ready to give a defense regarding God's plan of salvation? Does it really matter how a person lives? Is god's salvation conditional or unconditional? What part, if any, does baptism have in God's plan to save mankind? Once someone obtains salvation form God, is anything else required? Are you ready to answer?
Are you ready to give a defense regarding New Testament worship? If someone is worshipping God, how can they do that unacceptably? Why woud God be picky about how man worships Him, as long as they worship Him? Where does the Bible teach us how and when to worship? Are you ready to answer?
If you want to be ready to give a defense, God tells us how a tthe beginning of verse - "Sanctify the Lord God in your hearts." Set the Lord apart as the God of your life and you will study more, learn more and be readied even more to answer. Where is the Lord in your heart and in your life?
