Are Christians Truly Living Ready to Give an Account?
The Bible challenges believers to always be prepared to explain the hope within them. But in a culture that often questions or even ridicules faith, are Christians truly living ready to give an account?

Every generation of the church has faced moments when its members were called to stand and testify—whether before rulers, in workplaces, or even around the family table. Today, those pressures may look different, but the principle is the same: faith that stays silent under pressure leaves the watching world with questions unanswered.
This raises a deeper tension: are we so caught up in our daily lives that we rarely think about how we would respond if pressed to explain our faith? Some might feel confident, others hesitant. And in truth, many Christians confess to struggling with boldness, clarity, or even consistency between what they believe and how they live.
The challenge isn’t only about speaking up in public—it’s also about private readiness. Do our priorities, choices, and words reflect a life prepared for the moment when someone asks, “Why do you believe?” Or are we quietly unprepared, hoping that moment never comes?
In a time when Christian witness is often misunderstood or misrepresented, being ready to give an account feels more urgent than ever. But what does that readiness look like in practice—and what holds us back from living it out?
