As believers, we are called to be prepared to defend what we believe. In 1 Peter 3:15, believers are told to “always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” Are you ready? If you don’t feel equipped to defend your faith or if you just need a refresher, these family movies will help you give an answer in defense of God, the Bible, and Christianity.
The apostle Paul was famous for his apologetics around the Roman Empire, including his sermon at the altar of the unknown god, and others. Apologetics, from the root word “apologia,” means “reasoned arguments in defense of ... something.”
As Christians and disciples of Christ, we also need to be aware of reasoned arguments that defend our faith. Christ Himself told us that we would be persecuted for believing in Him. These movies will help you build your argument and give solid examples when you are called upon to defend your faith.
