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 (1Peter 3:15)
Sanctification is accomplished by means of the truth, which is the revelation that the Son gave regarding all that the Father commanded Him to communicate and is contained for us in the Scriptures. So here, the reading is “set apart in your hearts Christ as Lord.” The heart is the sanctuary, or starting place for God in which He wants our worship to originate. Our lives must be submissive to live in communion with the Lord Jesus, loving and obeying from a heart transformed.
Always be ready to give a defense—The English word “apologetics” comes from the Greek word here translated “defense.” Peter is using the word in an informal sense and insisting that the believer must understand what he believes and why one is a Christian, and then be able to articulate one’s beliefs humbly with meekness, thoughtfully with Bibilical reason for the hope they have in following after Christ.
My brothers and sisters in Christ, Remain steadfast in your faith and trust in our Lord Jesus Christ, always being ready to give an answer to anyone who may ask you: Why? Your answer may change the eternal destiny of someone who doesn’t even know why they are even asking? Yet, it is undeniable that they see His life in you, and that is what it means to “sanctify the Lord God in your hearts.”
May God bless your walk!
thanks for sharing the info.that is interesting.
Ahaa, its good conversation on the topic of this post here at this web site, I have read all that, so
now me also commenting here.
I’ve been browsing on-line more than three hours
nowadays, yet I never found any attention-grabbing article
like yours. It is beautiful price sufficient
for me. In my view, if all webmasters and bloggers
made good content material as you did, the internet will likely be much more useful than ever before.
