Our Hope that Lives Within Us.
Creating Confident Christians provides hope. We should always be ready to share the hope of Jesus Christ with others. But Peter said it best: "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear," 1 Peter 2:15.
The inspiration for this effort is born within every Christian. We want to share our hope, but most often we lack the confidence to share. Jesus tells us that "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks" (Mat 12:34). We should fill our hearts with the Bible so we can give answers naturally when others ask questions about our faith. When the opportunity fades, we regret not sharing the hope within us, but many Christians do not know how to fix that lack of confidence. It is the hope within us that carries the love of Christ, the Salvation to this world, preparation of the gospel of peace and the announcement of our coming King. Jesus loved us first and then gave His love for us on the cross and to us at our new birth.
How is it possible that Jesus provided us with a love, which we cannot understand, but it changes our lives. He gave the perfect gift. Any additions we try to make to His gift becomes a disgrace instead of honor. So many times the hope within us crowds its way into our hearts only to be pushed back with the everyday affairs, which strangle our freedom. Creating Confident Christians wants to help fill your heart with the words of the Bible. Our hope in this endeavor is to help build the confidence within ourselves and within our fellow Christians so that we know with confidence what the Bible says and we can share it with others in hopes to lead them to Christ. Jesus is the Way; we only have to share Him in order to bring others to the cross.
