1 Peter 3:15-Be ready to defend your hope if anyone questions it. How many Christians would keep it real about their faith? Very few. Many Christians would explain how they never questioned God in the midst of fiery trials. They would tell people how they've always had rock-solid faith. I'm going to be real: Most of them would be lying. No matter how long someone has been walking with God, every believer has questioned God. They've asked God the reason behind fiery storms, and some Christians have considered turning their backs on God because it seems like their trials (the ones that they're going through which are out of their control) have no expiration date. I know we live in a fallen world, and no one is immune to testing, but at some point trials must end. That's the part some Christians won't tell people; because they know if they gave an honest answer, that person could be turned away from coming to Christ. I believe that Christians can defend their faith by keeping it real: Telling unsaved people how good God has been to them, while explaining times they've questioned God about fiery storms; whether serving God is worth fighting battles you don't sign up for. After that, you let the unsaved person choose whether to accept or reject Christ.
