    HONORING GOD

    THROUGH ANSWERING
    QUESTIONS
    I Peter 3:15-16
    • Instead, you must worship Christ as Lord of your life. And if someone
    asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it. But
    do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear.
    Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see
    what a good life you live because you belong to Christ. (I Peter 3:15-
    16, NLT)
    Honor God
    • Worship God and serve Him only
    • Love the Lord with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your
    mind, and with all your strength (Mark 12:29-30)
    • God must be the number one in your life
    Be Ready to Answer
    • Apologia (apologetics) – ready to defend the truth for God’s glory
    (Jude 1:3; II Corinthians 10:5)
    • Be ready to answer the questions about why Christianity is true:
    • Why God exist?
    • Why the Bible is true and reliable?
    • Why Jesus is the divine Son of God?
    • Why salvation is through Christ alone?
    • As we present the Gospel, we must prepare ourselves to answer the
    questions about our faith (Matthew 28:18-20)
    Do it with gentleness and respect
    • When sharing the Gospel, let them see God’s love
    • When defending the Gospel, do not use it with a reason of being
    proud of arguing
    • When evangelizing the lost, let the Holy Spirit be the One who speaks
    • Let them encourage to examine the evidence for themselves
    • Pray for them
    Have a pure conscience
    • Make sure that we are living according to the will of God
    • Practice what you preach
    • Be a good example in words, behavior, love, faith and purity
    • Live a life according to the will of God
    Why is it important?
    • It is important because…
    • It validates Christian truth
    • It is one of God’s method to save the lost (evangelism)
    • It strengthens the church (edification of saints)
    Conclusion
    • Continue to honor God in everything
    • If there is an opportunity, when someone asks questions, then be
    ready to answer
    • When it comes on evangelism, do this with love, gentleness and
    respect
    • Have a clear conscience, trust in the Lord, and live according to His
    will
