I know that you have been in a group of people and someone asks why you believe the way you do. Or they ask where you go to church and why you go there. Or they ask why you seem happy or full of joy after a traumatic event. Or you are just in line at the store and start chatting with someone. You may as well tell them why you don’t mind waiting in line…after all, what you are really waiting for is the Lord to return. Everything else pales in comparison, right? So, here is the Scripture for today.

If somebody asks you to explain your faith, are you ready to explain it. Do you know the Scriptures well enough to give a well-founded and thorough explanation for your faith in the Lord? I am working on this and I hope that you are, too. Many people in the world are lost and don’t know it. You have the map to eternity and need to be able to share it with others.

Here is the Scripture that I found in my Bible study earlier this week that has the answer that others are seeking. God’s mercy has saved us; Jesus was the firstborn, raised from the dead, and because of His resurrection, we can expect one day to inherit an eternal life in Heaven that no one on earth can take away. I think these verses say it all. I’m sure that there are other verses that you all use to share your faith. I haven’t used this one yet, but it will be the one that I use the next time I have an occasion to share my faith. I want people to know that Jesus is the reason I live, the reason I have to hope for the future. I want others to know that He is my everything. I hope that you awaken each morning with praise on your lips for the Father who has provided a way of salvation for you. Praise His Holy and Marvelous Name!
My husband often references that verse about being ready. π

That’s a good attitude Vicklea! Yes and Amen!!!πππ
It’s a very good blessing to encourage people to witness to lost people. πππ
I find that witnessing is usually pretty well received…until you explain to someone that they need to be saved because they’re going to hell. Like yesterday when I witnessed to a man, boy he wasn’t happy I’ll say that.
And I’ve been cussed out for telling people that they need to be saved because they are not only going to hell, but they deserve to go there. (I included the statement that I too deserve to go to hell).
It is what it is. Jesus didn’t allow His own murder to save pretty good people. He did it to save us hell-deserving people.
I’m getting a little long winded.
You go Vicklea!
Keep promoting evangelism! πππ

I am always ready to speak about God and Soul Love. I often have to defend myself and beliefs, therefore, I am ready to speak and I have armed myself with more words to reach the people where I live.

I believe God is equipping me more for this task. I’ve witnessed to a couple of people before, including a group of young men at one time. And I must say it went really well. The Holy Spirit was moving and I just let had his way. I’ve been laughed at, criticised, rebuked and received hasty looks before but I joyed in it for I know I’m becoming more like Jesus and his will is being done in my life. I still have a long way to go and a lot to learn and be moulded into, but its all worth it in the end when our Father crowns us with the crown of his eternal righteousness β€ blessings & strength to you Vickie!

I Peter 3:15 is one of my favorite verses. Itβs a good one to live by, because it encourages us to spend time in the Word of God to really know Him for ourselves. Then we can be ready to share what we believe, when the occasion presents itself
