WHY DO WE NEED APOLOGETICS?
As Christians, apologetics is essential because it prepares us to defend our faith with confidence, communicate the truth of the Gospel clearly, and engage a world full of questions and misconceptions about Christianity. It enables us to answer challenges thoughtfully, not only strengthening our own faith but also offering others solid reasons to consider the hope we have in Christ. Apologetics is an expression of love, helping others understand the truth of God's Word, while equipping us to stand firm and bear witness in a culture that often misunderstands or rejects biblical truth.
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: - 1 Peter 3:15
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ: - 2 Cor 10:5
