Ultimate Message of Hope
1 Peter 3:15 (ESV)
Always be 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.
What causes people to repent is the conviction
of the Holy Spirit when we teach God’s Word.
Apologetics is designed to provide supporting
facts and reason-based evidence if needed.
