Why is it important to be prepared for attacks on our Christian faith?
-
This is so that we know how and when to respond appropriately when these attacks actually occur.
-
It’s important to be prepared because we know that the attacks are coming. It’s only a matter of time. If we have the armor of God and God’s word hidden in our hearts, we will win the battle. We don’t send our military out unprepared; we can’t send our students out either. It also makes our faith stronger because we are relying on God for our strength.
-
Often Christians are dismayed when attacks come. A fickle faith will weaken in the face of attacks. Therefore, it is important for our students to not only know attacks will come but to prepare them, through the Word, for how to handle them. The Bible tells us that our faith is refined through trial. We can have hope in times of trouble and when attacks come, knowing that Christ is with us and will sanctify us through the process.
-
A soldier would not go into battle without having been prepared. We also must prepare for the attacks on our Christian faith in order to stand boldly and keep trusting the Lord when things look bleak.
-
Christ was clear when he told us that people would hate us because of him. In 1 Corinthians 1:18, it says that the Gospel is foolishness to those who are perishing. We can’t possibly expect non-Christians to understand where we are coming from.
