Do You Have THE Answer?

“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”1 Peter 3:15

I have been asked on more than one occasion, “Do you think a Jew without Jesus is going to Heaven? After all, the Jew is the Chosen of God.” I have always answered, “No,” because Jesus Christ died for the sins of all people, but only those who have repented and asked for Him to be their Savior will go to Heaven. You see, we need Jesus and the righteousness of God that comes by believing in the Christ.

Questions about faith seem to come almost every day, from somewhere. And when the question comes about your personal faith in Jesus Christ, will you have The Answer?

Almost each day that I live, I ask someone the question, “How are you going to get to Heaven form where you are?” Would you believe that more than 8 of 10 people that I query have no idea? Amazingly enough, a lady working at a Chic Filet completed John 14:6 as I was quoting this verse to her, but she did not know how to go to Heaven!

My conclusion is that we who are Evangelical Christians are not prepared to share the message of Christ with people whose path crosses ours. As Peter writes, we must always “be prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you;”
