One Question to Consider: Are You Ready?

1 Peter 3:13-17 13 And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed. “And do not be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled.”

1 Peter 3:13-17 15 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; 16 having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers,

1 Peter 3:13-17 those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. 17 For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

Are You Ready? 0. Pre-Requisite: Sanctify the Lord in Your Heart

Sanctify  To set apart; Are You Ready? Sanctify  To set apart; to honor

Are You Ready? When We “Sanctify the Lord God in our Hearts,” Christ becomes the sole object of our Love, Reverence, Loyalty and Obedience.

Are You Ready? Colossians 3:1-4 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.

Christ is not a part of our life. Are You Ready? Christ is not a part of our life. CHRIST IS OUR LIFE

When Christ is our life: Are You Ready? When Christ is our life: Nothing Else Matters

Are You Ready? The Preparation: Always be ready

Are You Ready? Always Be Ready Really Means: Always Be Ready!

Are You Ready? 3 Aspects of a Good Legal Defense: 1. Centered in TRUTH 2. Backed by Experience 3. Delivered with Conviction

Are You Ready? Picture of Preparation: The US Navy SEALs Motto: “Train for war and fight to win.”

Are You Ready? The Proper Attitude: Meekness and Fear

Meekness IS NOT Weakness. Meekness IS: Are You Ready? Meekness IS NOT Weakness. Meekness IS: Gentleness, Humility, Controlled Power

Are You Ready? When we give our defense with meekness, we let the MESSAGE offend, not the MESSENGER!

Are You Ready? Fear: Reverence; Complete Devotion to God

WHAT NOW?
