Can you think of a time when you were called upon to give a defense of your faith in Christ? If so, briefly explain.

I had to defend my faith when talking to a neighbor about Christ. She had many questions about His love, death on the cross, answered prayers, and the like. I was able to talk to her about personal experiences, adding Scripture as I went along. While she did not accept Christ that night, she had a good foundation to think about.

I was on a mission trip to Mongolia and I was teaching English in a university and one of my students asked the question” Why can’t all religions be true?” I considered in my heart this question as I had a crisis of belief. But as I considered this question I realized that their is only one God and Jesus is His Son and there can be no other gods and I explained this to the young man and I have never found out what he decided to believe but I think that someday we will meet again in Heaven.

When I belonged to a cult that didn’t celebrate traditional Christian holidays (e.g., Christmas, Easter, New Year’s Day), co-workers would sometimes ask me why I didn’t. I would explain that these celebrations had pagan origins, and Christians should replace these with the observances outlined in Leviticus 23. After I left the cult, I learned that under the New Covenant, the only sacraments God requires are baptism and the Lord’s Supper. Specials days and observations are now a matter of personal choice (Colossians 2:16-17).

I guy I used to work with was an atheist. He liked to argue with believers about our faith. On a few occasions we would approach me to ask some questions he had. One of his main questions was if God was so full of love, than why does God allow people to suffer. We had this discussion a few times. My response was that God is love and sometimes God would use negative things to get our attention back to him or I would say something like we are all sinners and sometimes bad things happen because of the root of sins in our lives.
