Ready to Answer: Unafraid!

Integral to your resolve as a believer in “contending for the faith which was once delivered to the saints” (Jude 3) and “always being ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you” (1 Peter 3:15) is this—you must have no fear. You can and should engage others with respect, humility, and grace as you share the truth and point them to the Person of Truth, Jesus Christ. But one thing you cannot afford is fear. Fear silences witness. Intimacy with God emboldens and ensures a resolute stand.
