Growing up in my Christian faith, i was not so confident with my belief, i honestly perceived Christ as weak and i thought i would not be able to defend my faith.. Now that i am grown up and still continuously growing ("The Spirit is given with no limit." John 3:34 Our faith is not sky is the limit but literally has no limits. Boom!)
i realized that i don't have to defend Him, we don't defend a lion, we unleash the Lion and let the Lion defend itself. How we perceive Him shows how strong or weak our faith in Him.
In the same way, we should not worry about defending God's word. We believe because the Holy Spirit in us tells us that is true. It's that unexplainable feeling that you know it's true but you just can't express it. It's like the sense of smell trying to describe what the eye is seeing. Our flesh does not explain it, but the Spirit in us is giving us CONFIDENCE that Jesus whom we believe is true even though we were not there physically 2000 years ago. It doesn't really matter.
"Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”- John 20:29
Now, one of the reasons this group exists is because I want to see my fellow believers in Christ confident in their faith. Yet, humble enough to respect other people's worldview or religion. We are all work in progress. There is always much to learn.
"And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen."- John 21:25 Boom!
Invite people. We all need each other in our relationship with God. We don't have to wait until Sunday to get in touch with other believers. WE can do it all the time especially with our technology.
"Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers."- Galatians 6:10
