GIVING A REASON/APOLOGETIC FOR THE HOPE YOU HAVE

INTRODUCTION 1 PETER 3:15-1615But 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, 16keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good

behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.

1. RELATIONSHIP ABOVE MINISTRY - SEE PROVERBS 1- Set apart Christ as Lord See Colossians 2

2. SPIRITUALLY ACTIVE AND READY VS ASLEEP OR ALIVE VS DEAD Always be prepared To give an ‘answered’ a reason To everyone who asks you

A soul winner actively seeks souls/ initiates witnessing to lead the lost to Christ Apologetics is soul winning in waiting and prepared to move to witnessing. Apologetics has supernatural patience it is a communicating process that gives God time to ‘work’ on the lost seeker.

3. ITS ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE, THE HOPE WITHIN

3

For the HOPE you have This hope is ‘divine optimism’ with incomparable content Hope for our condition Hope based on God’s desire to love us Hope based on God’s arrive in Christ Hope based on the incomparable Savior / prediction, birth, life, work, words

Hope based on the Cross Hope based on the transformation of Salvation and our new birth and power Hope based on incomparable promises, eternal life and destiny Salvation- Justification, dynamic sanctification and glorification

This HOPE is incomparable in all of its revelation, dimensions and relationship.

4. THE NATURE OF THE CHRISTIAN APOLOGIST What does 1 John 2:6 tell us? Gentleness Respect

Keep a clear conscience / the peace of God and with God

What is the Goal of the apologetic?

THE GOAL IS TO WIN A SOUL TO CHRIST NOT WIN AN ARGUMENT!

If some was to ask you question and you answered them, what they say about your ‘character’ (how you answered them)

APOLOGETICS AND THE LOVE OF GOD/PURSUIT OF GOD

1. REMEMBER THIS IS A DIVINE PURSUIT John 3:16 ‘gar’ Theos/ For God……..so loved the world! How do we know what Love is? See 1 John 3

Where do you see this ‘divine pursuit’ in the life of Jesus?

2. THIS PURSUIT COMES FROM THE INFINITE, RELATIONAL GOD This is His pursuit This is His Love This is His desire This is His word This is His work

3. THIS DIVINE PURSUIT IS SEEN IN HIS ACTION God initiated the plan God brings fulfillment to this plan His greatest action is seen in the Incarnation

4. THIS DIVINE PURSUIT IS SEEN IN HIS SACRIFICE Greater love has no one than this Romans 5 The incarnation

5

The struggle See Isaiah 53 He did it willingly, by his own authority and joyfully

5. THIS DIVINE PURSUIT IS SEEN IN THE CROSS Always point to the uniqueness of the Cross What He suffered and what He did at the cross Nothing else compares

6. THIS DIVINE PURSUIT IS IN THE HOLY SPIRIT The Spirit of God sent to Convince Draw Witness The Holy Spirit operative in Apologetics

7. THIS DIVINE PURSUIT IS EXPRESSED THROUGH HIS SERVANTS A Christian is an ambassador 2 Corinthians 5 A witness is filled with the Holy Spirit An apologist speaks with wisdom and power

GOD’S DIVINE PURSUIT IS EXPRESSED IN APOLOGETICS/ ANSWERS AND REASONS FOR THE GOAL OF EXPRESSING GOD’S LOVE AND WILL FOR A SEEKERS

APOLOGETICS SPIRITUAL WARFARE AND THE WILL OF GOD

1. IT IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE BECAUSE OF THE SIN CODE IN FALLEN MAN Fallen man has internal hostility Fallen man has inability Fallen man can respond by himself

2. IT IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE BECAUSE OF THE OF THE OPPOSITION OF SATAN Satan’s methodology in the beginning and now Satan seeks to stop Christ Satan seeks to stop the Church Satan and the demonic realm in apologetics Satan has lost man until freedom comes

3. THERE IS A SPIRITUAL WARFARE AGAINST THE WITNESS/APOLOGETIST Satan seeks to stop the soul winner and apologetist Satan seeks to put obstacles in your way Satan seeks to create fear The demonic will give the lost ammunition The demonic will seek to rally persecution

4. THERE IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE AGAINST THE WORD OF GOD Satan seeks to keep the lost from hearing Satan seeks to steal the word so they cannot believe and be saved

5. THERE IS SPIRITUAL WARFARE ON THE MINDS OF LOST MANKIND Satan is operative in the lost to keep them blinded

7

Satan is operative in the lost to keep the lost in disobedience

6. BREAKING THE BARRIERS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT The Spirit will do His work you must do yours The Spirit of God can give you wisdom The Spirit of God can give you a word of God The Spirit of God can give you the love and the passion

The apologetist must be clothed with POWER FROM ON HIGH’ Luke. 24

APOLOGETICS THE WORD OF GOD DEFENSE/OFFENSE

1. THE WORD OF GOD IS JUST THAT It is not the word of men It works whether men believer or not It is communication from God

2. THE WORD OF GOD IS DESIGNED TO WIN SOULS It enables a lost person to believe/to have faith It is written so that men might believe It is the gospel of Power unto salvation/it intends to save

It is written to answer questions Knowing the answers yourself enables you to share them Let the word dwell in you richly/be packed It defends the truth ….exposing the lie and promoting the truth

7. THE WORD OF GOD CAN REVEAL THE FULL MESSAGE OF CHRIST They must hear the ‘full words of this life’ They must have the correct content of the gospel The full message of the gospel has the full power of God Giving an answer for the reason gives you time to reveal the full gospel

Counterfeit words, gospels, christs, doctrine and teaching come from the demonic and are used to keep the lost-lost. You must skillfully and patiently expose the false and unleash the truth.

With the false comes - demonic powersWith the truth comes the Power of the Holy Spirit

8. THE WORD OF GOD CAN REVEAL THE FULL MEASURE OF THE HEART The word read or heard can reveal the depth of lost mankind The word can pinpoint the sin
