What is Apologetics and How Do We Defend Our Faith?
Description
We're back at The Signpost! This week, we're looking at Apologetics and how to defend our faith to others.
Apologetics is Greek and the root word Apologia basically means to give an account or defense of something. R.C. Sproul, a Christian Apologetics theologist said apologetics is “the science to provide an intellectual defense for the truth claims of the Christian faith. Its aim is to understand what you believe so you know why you believe it.”
1 Peter 3:15 sums it up very well saying “but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared 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, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame.”
