How To Defend The Christian Faith Excellently

By Henry Collins


One of the characteristics of Christianity is the need to love. Many people don't understand why Jesus should command his followers to love anyone created by God, whether they are their friends or not. This is in contrast to many other beliefs which defend loving friends and despising enemies. This commandment alone makes it clear that in looking for how to defend the Christian faith, fighting cannot come into play.

To defend the Christian faith means to do anything that can make people believe more in God. It requires one's total efforts and consciousness as one has to live a life that is consistent with what is said. People around are always watching to know if the person is going to falter at any point and if that happens, they think that the Christian faith once professed with zeal is nothing but a joke.

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.

Sometimes, it looks understandable why someone fell into temptation but the Bible makes it clear that no temptation is brought to man beyond what he can overcome. It is easier for the devil to succeed when he sees that your relationship with God is sour. This is the reason why the Bible forewarned in James 4:8a that going closer to God will cause Him to draw closer to man.

Reading the Bible always includes having some quality time in His presence every morning. This is also referred to as quiet time. The morning devotion is necessary as it helps you go through God's word and hear from Him about how to conduct yourself each day. By conducting yourself well, you represent God anywhere you are and those who are observing you are more likely to ask you to lead them to Christ.

You should not joke with prayers. It is by praying that Christians relate with God and he replies back to them. Prayers also help to get God's healing power. If it is for a sickness that caught everyone's attention, they will become amazed and interested in following your God when they see that it is no longer there.

You cannot succeed in defending the Christian faith if you don't preach the gospel. No wonder this remains the Great Commission instituted by Jesus Christ himself. By preaching, you can get more converts from different places such as in the students' hostels, hospitals, and prisons.

Defending Christianity has a single target and that is to make men turn away from their sins. The emphasis is on avoiding eternal damnation and finding rest in God on the Last Day. As a Christian, it is your primary duty from God to try your possible best to ensure that people around you hear that Jesus saves.
