How To Defend The Christian Faith Excellently

By Henry Collins


Christianity is a religion that preaches love. It is surprising to so many how Jesus Christ gave the instruction that Christians should love one another and pray for those that persecute them. This is not possible in so many other religions in which paying back good for good and evil for evil reigns supreme. Because of this Biblical injunction to love, one cannot possibly consider fighting when thinking of how to defend the Christian faith.

The main aim of defending the Christian faith is to draw men unto God. It means that one has to be careful not to act in contrast to what is preached. If your life is in consonance with what you say in public, others who are not Christians will see you as being sincere and since sincerity is a worthy virtue, they are drawn closer to you and then to God who can give them the grace to have the life of Jesus.

Anytime one temptation or the other comes your way, it should be a time to reflect on Jesus and rely on his grace. Someone near you may have set you up and is watching earnestly to know your response. You will be happy in the end as the Holy Spirit helps you overcome. This will also make the person Satan used to feel more ashamed.

But it is still not uncommon to see Christians fall into temptation. This happens most times when the person is not close to God. To keep alert, every Christian ought to study the Bible and pray always, not just when you are in trouble. If the command that is given in James 4:8a is taken seriously, it will be easier to defend Christianity.

Reading the Bible everytime is good and anyone who has the Christian faith should not joke with doing so every morning. This is the most comfortable period to have one's quiet time since everywhere is still calm and the Christian can focus more on God when he has not stepped out for work or other endeavors. Getting to know God early in the morning before any other thing grants him access to his fullness and knowledge. The Christian is further directed on what to do throughout the day.

Your prayer life should also not be a joke. God can minister to you through prayers with instructions on what to do when certain things come your way. Through prayers, you can also get instant healing for your sickness to the amazement of those who never thought you would get well. When they see the miraculous signs, they feel the urge to also join the faith.

Spreading the gospel is an important step to take if you want to defend Christianity. Without preaching, nobody will understand why you do certain things. Defending the faith in this sense includes participating in early morning cries, visiting public places such as students' hostels and sharing tracts.

You must bear in mind when defending the faith that its sole aim is to draw souls to God. Sinners who don't understand this risk going to hell instead of Heaven where the Lord has prepared several mansions for anyone who believes and follows Him. Every Christian should therefore be involved in this fight to rescue perishing souls.
