1Peter 3:15 tell us, \u201c\u2026in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect\u2026\u201d<\/p>

How could you explain to someone else what God means to you?<\/p>

It is a tricky question. So it\u2019s good to have that prepared and ready to share at a moment\u2019s notice.<\/p>

Here are a couple of ways you could prepare something.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Write down a short description for each of these points:<\/p>

  1. What was your life like before knowing Jesus?

    <\/li>
  2. How did you come to make the decision to invite Jesus into your life?

    <\/li>
  3. How did your life change after inviting Jesus into your life?<\/li><\/ol>

    Then try saying it out loud, as if you were saying it to another person. Maybe it needs a few edits? Go ahead and shorten it a little. Then practice saying it to a friend. Ask for feedback.<\/p>

    Then try to say it in just a few sentences, so it could be said in 15 seconds.<\/strong><\/p>

    Here\u2019s an example:<\/p>

    \u201cI was an atheist. Then I met a Christian whose life I admired. She provided sufficient evidence for God, so I asked him to come into my life and he changed my life.\u201d<\/p>

    Here\u2019s another example:<\/p>

    \u201cI was brought up in a religious home, but God seemed distant. Then someone shared with me how I could have a personal relationship with God and I was amazed to experience his love on a personal basis.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Think through times in your life when you learned something very important about God. It might be:<\/p>
