Why do we need apologetics?

"Always be ready 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."

1 Peter 3:15

"Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith."

Jude 1:3
