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.

Falling into temptation is not uncommon especially when the circumstances are grave. However, this can be prevented by getting closer to The Lord. Some of the ways to do this include reading the Bible always, praying without ceasing and depending totally on God in times of trouble. If what is written in James 4:8a is taken seriously, defending Christianity would be easier.

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.

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 can defend the faith further by preaching. This is actually the primary step to take if you want people to understand your beliefs. This can be done by hospital visitation, going to the prison, attending to students in their hostels and so on.

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.
