ARE YOU READY?


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. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.



1 Peter 3:15&16 (NIV)



Are you living your life in such a way that people are curious about the hope you have?



When people see us in our daily lives, the way we walk, talk and react in any situation, they should see a reflection of Jesus in us.

In times of trial and affliction, do people wonder why you deal with it so well? Do they see the hope you have in the midst of the turmoil and want to know what it's all about?

In those moments where you don't have control, who is LORD?

It is of equal importance to reflect Jesus when things are going well. Who gets the credit? Do you tithe? Is your life lived in such a way that onlookers KNOW who you live for?

If you live your life for Jesus and not for yourself, people are going to want to know why. They will want to know more about JESUS, the hope you have.

If your life is truly lived for Him, those who try to speak ill of you WILL be put to shame.

So, when folks ask why you choose to live for Christ, ARE YOU READY?
