Importance Of Apologetics Ministry Teaching

By Ann Sanders


One may take it to mean that it is a ministry of apologizing while actually, it is not. Not many people have heard of an apologetics ministry but in its own meaning one may tend to explain it simply. It is a ministry in which Christians are taught to defend their faith. It is based on 1 Peter 3:15 where Christians are given instructions on how to live with each other and be able to explain why their faith is the way it is.

Acts 17 encourages us to persuade people to believe and join in the Christian faith the same way Saint Paul did. The chapter gives an encounter of how Paul would visit synagogues and stay for up to 3 days. In this time, he would try to listen to the people and reason with them. He also showed them from scripture that Christ had to suffer and die for our sins.

Apologetics allow Christians know about their faith. It is the sad reality that Christians know little about their faith compared to other religions. Repentance helps us as Christians not only to understand but also to be able to defend the truth of the Christian faith. Without them, people would result in chaotic methods of defending the faith.

Apologetics is a way of keeping people out of hell. God is against sin and as Christian, we are supposed to urge non-believers to stay away from sin. We need to make them acknowledge that seen is real and God is real too. Sin is the reason why Jesus was sent from heaven to live among men and save them from the pending doom that awaited them.

Christianity is the only religion that offers forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Its, therefore, the duty of every Christian to make it known to non-believers that there is a chance at redemption. Standing by idly will also be considered a sin. A Christian who does so is at risk of facing an eternity of punishment in hell. Spreading the word saves a lot of lives.

As life continues, a lot of times, Christian faith is tested. Other people take the words out of context and twist them into making Christianity seem wrong. This has spread so much especially because of the media. Not only o television but also on social media platforms. Christians are to find a way to rectify this wrong image that has been painted.

Apostasy is in relation to same-sex relationships. They are not allowed in the biblical times and are still abominable. Surprisingly, not everyone believes so. Some churches have accepted these relationships and have gone on to officiate and bless them. In actual sense, Christians should be fighting against such and warning people of the consequences.

There are a lot of false teachings, especially by fake Christian leaders. Other religions too tend to relay the wrong information. For example, Muslims believe Jesus was just another minor prophet and did not free anyone from their sins. Other religions like atheism, openly denounce Gods existence and attack Christianity. Others like the Jehovahs Witnesses believe there is no hell.
