1. Act Like You Know What You are Talking About- A main theme in 1 Peter is that we should be living hope-filled lives in a hopeless world.- Peter’s presupposition is that we will be living in such a way that nonbelievers will want to ask about the hope we have.
2. Actually Know What You are Talking About- We need to be able to articulate our faith!- Focus on answering two questions:- Why do you love Jesus?- How did he change your life?
3. Win People, Not Arguments- We persuade with gentleness and respect.- It’s not us against unbelievers. They aren’t the enemy. Satan is the enemy!
4. Your Testimony Can Change Lives- You might be the only Bible the lost read.- When we live with hope, the world is attracted to our faith.
