In gentleness

 In gentleness

The apostle Peter writes,

“But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.” 1 Peter 3:15,16.

Is Christ first in your life? Are you prepared to give an answer to everyone who wants to know why you follow Christ?

When you present the gospel message to someone do you do it respecting the person you are speaking to? Do you present the message of Christ with gentleness?

All of these things are necessary to reach people for Christ. If you don’t respect others, they wont respect you. If you don’t present the word of the Lord in a gentle fashion people will turn away from you.

It all comes down to what Jesus said,

"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets" Matthew 7:12.

So are you obedient to what Peter and Jesus are saying?

Please think about it.
