Apologists

Apologists

Three things in Apologists:

1. Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts.

Apologist first aspect is to sanctify Christ as Lord in hearts. 

Sanctify is to be set apart, to be holy(Col 1:22)

2. Always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account of the hope that is in you.

It is different from sharing the Gospel, where you passionately spread the good news about Christ to the world, but as Apologists - It is being ready, making defense to everyone, who asks to give an account for the hope that is in you.

3. With Gentleness and reverence.

Gentleness is one of the Fruits of Spirit: (Gal 5:23)

Gentleness is also the most important ingredient for the Unity of the Spirit (Eph 4:2)
