1 Peter 3:15
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.
Sanctifying the Lord in our hearts and being ready to answer anyone who asks about our hope is an invitation to live with courage and authenticity. This readiness to share the reason for our hope reflects a life that is deeply rooted in faith, one that is open to engaging with others and inviting them into God’s truth. By keeping God sanctified in our hearts, we maintain a reverence that strengthens our testimony, as people see the impact of our faith. This dedication to sharing our hope challenges us to live intentionally, recognizing that every interaction is an opportunity to reflect Christ. Embracing this responsibility transforms our perspective, as we view questions about our faith not as challenges but as chances to witness. This readiness to give an answer brings confidence, as we rely on God’s wisdom to guide our words and actions. Living with this openness to share our faith allows us to be light in a world that seeks hope.

1 Corinthians 9:16
For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me.
