Verse from 1 Peter

Be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. 1 Peter 3:15

The key idea in 1 Peter 3:13-17 is that a hope-filled life in Christ can trigger conversations about the gospel.

In a world filled with brokenness and despair, when people see someone living with hope that transcends this world, it gets their attention and can cause them to desire what that person has. When they ask about this hope, we can point them to the message of Jesus, who’s “given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade” (1:3).
