Why is it important to be prepared for attacks on our Christian faith?
-
It is very important that we are prepared for attacks on our Christian faith because when we study the word of God we can have strength in the word of God to stand on His word and be confident that He will take us through when we are being attacked.
-
The attacks will come, whether from the outside or the inside. Sometimes our faith is attacked by others, but I think more often it begins with self-sufficiency that creeps in with the lie that God is irrelevant. Students need to know the world is not a place that believes or cares what God’s Word says. Although they may be surrounded by Christians, they need to understand that is an intentional choice by their parents for now, it will not always be the case throughout their lives. And it shouldn’t be. Once we have prepared and trained, we need to go build relationships with people who do not believe for the purpose of sharing the gospel.
-
Attacks on our faith can come at any time, from anyone, so we must be ready to defend our faith and not give in to the views of the world when we come under attack. We must stay consistent with our Biblical views.
-
We need to be prepared because the attacks are coming, and we have to “Ephesians 6 ourselves up” and get ready to defend our faith w/ the armor of God. If we are unprepared, we are just going to be taken over.
-
The Bible tells us that the road we walk as Christians is not easy and we will face persecution. Therefore, we need to be ready to defend our faith and teach our students to do the same.
