How do you defend your faith as you share the truth about Jesus with others? 

Please contact us if you have any questions or need encouragement.

On this page, we encourage Christians to defend and share their faith through Bible study, personal testimony, and reliance on the Holy Spirit—not by winning arguments. We emphasize things by explaining Christian beliefs with confidence, gentleness, and respect. Scripture passages and apologetics resources, including videos that address atheism, other religions, and common questions about Christianity, help you deepen your understanding and prepare for conversations about Jesus.

As a believer, I have come to understand that the apologetics of my faith come from God’s word and what He has done in my life through His grace. Even though people may argue about the Bible, they cannot argue with the powerful testimony we share. I’d like you to learn how to defend your faith. Your testimony explains what God has done in your life and where you used to be. However, defending God isn’t like trying to win an argument; we need to trust that the Holy Spirit will speak through our words. Hopefully, those we speak to can better understand our faith and defend it more clearly, which is what apologetics is all about.

2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.

Moreover, getting familiar with the Bible will help us see how it defends itself and reinforces our beliefs even more strongly. So let us all strive to study God’s word more deeply, so we can share our faith confidently, without doubt or fear! What I like about learning more about the Bible is that the wisdom I gain can help others and me!  ~ Bill Greguska

What Is Christian Apologetics ~ GotQuestions.org?

 

 

Defending Your Faith Starts With Knowing Jesus

Apologetics can sound intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. Apologetics should flow naturally from God’s Word and our personal experiences of His grace. When others try to argue about the Bible, we can confidently share our testimony and let them see firsthand how God has transformed our lives. And while apologetic knowledge certainly helps us defend our beliefs more clearly, we must remember that ultimately the Holy Spirit speaks truth into people’s hearts. So take heart! Don’t feel like you have to defend a lion—get to know the Word of God and let it speak for itself. Your faith is a powerful witness, so embrace your story and share it boldly with those around you!

Apologetics is the branch of Christianity that defends and establishes the Christian faith. Every true believer should be involved in Christian apologetics, even if only a little.

“But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence” (1 Peter 3:15).

Unfortunately, the nature of what CARM does means that it will attract those who like to hide behind anonymous nicknames and spew out their vitriolic condemnation of anything Christian—sometimes with foul language.  This can’t be helped when confronting the various degrees of denial of God’s truth.  Still, why open the CARM videos to comments?  There are three main reasons:

  • To provide Christians with an opportunity to engage in dialogue with unbelievers.
  • To learn unbelievers’ attitudes and reasoning so we can respond better.
  • To increase CARM’s popularity by exposing it to more people through comment interactions.

Note!  The videos are on YouTube.com and are open to comments.  Be aware that some words contain profanity and anti-Christian statements. ~ Matt Slick

 

 

 

How to Talk About Jesus With Someone Who Disagrees?

 

Some Specific Scriptures To Encourage You:

1 Peter 3:15 ESV 

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,

Romans 16:17-18 ESV 

I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery, they deceive the hearts of the naïve.

John 17:17 ESV 

Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.
