"But even if you should suffer for righteousness, you are blessed. Do not fear what they fear or be disturbed, but set apart the Messiah as Lord in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you. However, do this with gentleness and respect, keeping your conscience clear, so that when you are accused, those who denounce your Christian life will be put to shame." (1 Peter 3:14-16) (HCSB)

Scripture actively commands us to bare witness of our faith to people that we interact with. By sharing the reason for the love that we display as Christians, we are able to evangelize directly to those around us.
I don't know about you, but many times in my life, this seems like quite a tough calling.
It is convicting to me because I then realize that my relationship with Christ is not where it should be...
Where I should want it to be.
So how do we acquire the hope and defense that Peter is talking about in this passage?
