1 Peter 3:15
“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:”
In this verse the Apostle Peter encourages God’s people to always be ready to answer for our faith in Jesus Christ. When we encounter those unsaved in this world how are we to account for our faith in Christ? Do they recognize we live differently than they do?
Also notice Peter says, “with meekness and fear”. Getting in someone’s face or being loud and obnoxious or being puffed up with pride is not the way to witness to those we hope will see Christ through us. We must be meek and mild but also show a fear or reverence for our Lord when presenting the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Preach the Gospel and remember it is the Lord who will give the increase. He is the Lord of the harvest. We are only the workers in the field. All we can do is plant and/or water. The amount of the harvest is in the hands of the Lord. It may be much, or it may be little, or it may even be a drought. But we are still commanded to plant and/or to water no matter the outcome.
Praise ye the Lord!!!
