Ready With An Answer 1 Peter 3:15

“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.” 1 Pet. 3:15, NKJV

1. Sanctify the Lord in Our Hearts “to consecrate or set apart” We must set the Lord upon the throne of our heart and make Him the center of our life.

2. Always Be Ready Readiness requires preparation: 2 Tim. 2:15; 2 Pet. 3:18; Heb. 5:12-14 Such preparation will strengthen our faith and give us confidence.

3. To Give a Defense Be ready to give a reasoned, intelligent explanation regarding the things we believe or practice. This explanation must be based upon the Word of God, not our ideas or opinions.

4. To Everyone Who Asks You We must be ready and willing to answer anyone who asks. The gospel is for all. However, some questions and people are not deserving of an answer. 1 Tim. 6:3-5; Matt. 7:6

5. A Reason for the Hope in You The nature, object, and basis of our hope: 1 Peter 1:3-4

5. A Reason for the Hope in You The existence of God The inspiration of the Bible The deity of Christ Why we believe in Heaven and Hell What one must do to be saved Why we do not use musical instruments

6. With the Proper Attitude Meekness Fear Good Conscience
