Today’s Devotional
1 Peter 3:15 reminds us of the importance of being ready to share our faith with others. As Christians, our lives should reflect the hope and peace that come from knowing Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. When people ask about the reason for our hope, we should be prepared to give an answer, sharing the good news of the Gospel with them.
However, it is equally important to share our faith with gentleness and respect. We must remember that we are not called to force our beliefs on others or to argue aggressively. Instead, we should approach these conversations with love, humility, and a desire to help others understand the hope we have found in Christ.
