Courteous Account for Hope!

10/21/2014

"But in your hearts set Christ apart as holy and acknowledge Him as Lord. Always be ready to give a logical defense to anyone who asks you to account for the hope that is in you, but do it courteously and respectfully." -I Peter 3:15 (AMP)
When we have exciting news it can be hard not to share it!  Our excitement may become so intense that it overpowers or turns others off to what we want to share or say.  Even when our love of Jesus causes an excitement and a desire to share, we need to do so in a respectful and courteous way.

Once we have set our hearts on Jesus and confess that He is holy, our lives should change.  We should have a hope in our future through Him and with Him.  This hope may cause us to be excited.  This hope may cause others to wonder what is going on in our lives.  We may be asked to explain or defend our hope.  When we share or defend the hope in our lives, we need to do it in a way that engages others and does not turn them away.  When we share courteously and respectfully, others will be more inclined to join us in our faith and in our hope!


When given the chance, explain and defend your hope by giving a kind and courteous account of your salvation!

Prayer:
Dear God-

Thank You for giving me hope.  When others ask, help me to explain and defend my salvation in a way that brings others into Your family.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
