Follow The Evidence

How should we respond as follower’s of Christ to specific questions when they come up? 1 Peter 3:15-16 says, “If someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it.  But do this in a gentle and respectful way.” According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, truth is defined as, “The body of real things, events, and facts.” The Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:17-18 “And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins. In that case, all who have died believing in Christ are lost! And if our hope in Christ is only for this life, we are more to be pitied than anyone in the world.” It’s not our responsibility to make people believe that the Bible is true and that Jesus actually rose from the grave. However, we can encourage them to follow the evidence for why we believe Scripture is reliable and worth their time to investigate these truth claims for themselves.
