“Reason (Account) For The Hope That Is In You” Much religion today denies reason or an intellectual basis for Christianity Heavy emphasis on emotion Christianity is a religion of truth (1 Peter 1:22-23) “Make a defense” (give an account) is a term describing a lawyer defending his client Reason for hope is faith (Heb. 11:1) Not a subjective or emotional response There is a revealed faith (Jude 3)

Capability Be ready (1 Peter 1:13; 2 Tim. 2:15) A defense: Is baptism immersion in water? Is baptism part of salvation? Why the Lord’s Supper every Sunday? Is instrumental music authorized by God? Hope is within us (1 Peter 1:3) To everyone who asks (1 Cor. 6:9; Matt. 10:16) With gentleness and reverence (Eph. 4:15)
