Christianity does not enter the world as a private philosophy that asks to be protected from investigation. It makes public claims about Jehovah, creation, human nature, moral accountability, divine revelation, Jesus Christ, redemption, resurrection, judgment, and eternal life. It declares that Jehovah has acted within human history, that He has communicated through inspired words, that Jesus of Nazareth truly lived and died, and that Jehovah raised Him from the dead. These claims concern reality. They can therefore be examined through Scripture, history, reason, eyewitness evidence, manuscript transmission, fulfilled prophecy, and the effects produced by the Christian message.

The purpose of Christian evidences is not to replace faith with intellectual argument. It is to show that biblical faith rests upon adequate grounds. Faith is not a leap into darkness, an emotional preference, or belief without knowledge. Biblical faith is informed trust in Jehovah and in what He has revealed. It responds to truth that has been communicated in understandable language and confirmed through divine action. The Christian does not believe merely because belief supplies comfort. He believes because Jehovah is truthful, Scripture is reliable, Jesus is the Christ, and the resurrection provides an objective foundation for the Christian hope.

This volume presents a reasoned defense of those convictions for readers living in the twenty-first century. It preserves the central purpose of George Park Fisher’s work while expressing the case for Christianity in language suited to present-day questions. The chapters address the necessity of Christian evidences, the reality of divine revelation, the manner in which Jehovah communicates, the trustworthiness of the Old and New Testaments, the historical existence of Jesus, the resurrection, fulfilled prophecy, biblical miracles, the worldwide spread of Christianity, and the transforming power of Jehovah’s Word.

These subjects belong together. A defense of Christianity cannot rest on one isolated argument while ignoring the larger structure of biblical truth. The historical reliability of the Gospels matters because the Gospels record the ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus. The resurrection matters because it confirms His identity and validates His sacrificial death. Fulfilled prophecy matters because it demonstrates that Jehovah knows and declares what human beings cannot know independently. Miracles matter because they reveal divine action within history. The preservation of Scripture matters because modern readers must possess reliable access to the words originally given through the inspired writers. The transforming influence of the Bible matters because divine revelation addresses not only what human beings should believe but also how they must think, speak, worship, and live.

Why Christian Evidences Matter

The need for Christian evidences arises from the nature of Christianity itself. The Bible does not merely command belief; it repeatedly supplies reasons for belief. Luke explained that he had investigated the events concerning Jesus carefully and arranged his account so that his reader could know the certainty of what he had been taught. John recorded selected signs of Jesus so that readers might believe that He is the Christ, the Son of God, and receive life through His name. Jesus appealed to His works as evidence that the Father had sent Him. The apostles appealed to eyewitnesses, fulfilled Scripture, the empty tomb, resurrection appearances, and publicly known events.

Acts of the Apostles 1:3 states that Jesus presented Himself alive after His suffering “by many convincing proofs” over a period of forty days. First Corinthians 15:3-8 names Peter, the apostles, James, Paul, and more than five hundred Christians who encountered the resurrected Christ. Paul even noted that most of the larger group remained alive when he wrote. That statement invited examination. The apostolic proclamation did not demand acceptance of an event safely removed from verification. It announced the resurrection while numerous witnesses could still be questioned.

This evidential character of Christianity distinguishes biblical faith from unsupported religious imagination. The apostles did not announce that Jesus remained alive merely through His teachings or through the memories of His disciples. They declared that the man who had been executed under Roman authority had been raised from the dead by Jehovah. They identified places, rulers, witnesses, and circumstances. They preached in Jerusalem, where Jesus had been publicly condemned and killed. Their message could have been challenged by authorities, residents, religious leaders, and others familiar with the events.

Christian evidences also matter because false ideas do not remain harmless. What a person believes about Jehovah, Scripture, Christ, sin, death, resurrection, and judgment shapes his conduct. A person who rejects moral accountability will approach life differently from one who knows that he must answer to his Creator. A person who views Jesus as merely an ethical teacher will not respond to Him as the appointed King, Savior, and Judge. A person who regards the Bible as a collection of human religious reflections will not submit to it as the inspired and authoritative Word of God.

Apologetics therefore serves both evangelism and discipleship. It answers objections that prevent unbelievers from hearing the good news accurately, and it strengthens Christians who encounter skeptical arguments. It protects congregations from false teachers who misuse Scripture, distort the identity of Christ, deny the resurrection, redefine sin, or replace biblical doctrine with religious tradition. It helps parents answer the questions of their children, teachers explain difficult passages, and ordinary Christians speak intelligently about the hope they possess.

The Biblical Responsibility to Give a Defense

Christian apologetics is the reasoned explanation and defense of biblical truth. The English word “apologetics” is derived from the Greek noun apologia, which refers to a defense or reasoned answer. First Peter 3:15 instructs Christians to set apart Christ as Lord in their hearts and remain prepared to give a defense to everyone asking for a reason for their hope. The command begins with submission to Christ. Christian defense is not an intellectual performance detached from worship, obedience, and moral conduct.

The manner of the defense matters as much as readiness to provide it. Peter connects the defense with gentleness and reverence. Christian firmness does not require hostility, mockery, exaggeration, or personal abuse. Second Timothy 2:24-26 states that the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind, qualified to teach, patient when wronged, and gentle when correcting those who oppose the truth. Colossians 4:5-6 directs Christians to conduct themselves wisely toward outsiders and to speak graciously.

Gentleness does not mean weakening the truth. Jesus answered sincere questions patiently, but He also exposed dishonest reasoning and condemned religious hypocrisy. Paul reasoned with his hearers, demonstrated the identity of the Messiah from Scripture, and directly confronted idolatry and false doctrine. Faithful apologetics combines doctrinal courage with controlled speech, careful listening, intellectual honesty, and concern for the hearer.

The Christian defender must never misrepresent an opponent’s position merely because a weaker version is easier to answer. He must not conceal relevant evidence, repeat claims he has not verified, or treat every questioner as though he were deliberately hostile. Some objections arise from rebellion against Jehovah, but others arise from ignorance, confusion, inaccurate teaching, painful experiences, or exposure to persuasive misinformation. The Christian must identify the actual concern and answer it rather than delivering a prepared speech unrelated to the person’s question.

Every Christian shares responsibility for bearing witness. The duty does not belong exclusively to pastors, scholars, missionaries, or public speakers. First Peter 3:15 addresses believers generally. Matthew 28:19-20 commands Christ’s followers to make disciples, baptize believers, and teach them to observe what He commanded. Acts of the Apostles 8:4 records ordinary Christians spreading the Word after persecution scattered them from Jerusalem. Their activity shows that evangelism was not confined to the apostles.

Different Christians possess different levels of knowledge and ability, but every believer can grow in readiness. A newer Christian can explain the basic message that Jesus died as a sacrifice for sins, was raised by Jehovah, and calls people to repentance, faith, baptism, obedience, and endurance. A mature Christian should be prepared to address more complex questions involving biblical transmission, alleged contradictions, prophecy, miracles, suffering, and competing worldviews. Readiness develops through regular Bible reading, accurate interpretation, thoughtful study, and repeated practice in explaining truth clearly.

Faith and Reason Under Jehovah’s Authority

Faith and reason are not enemies. Jehovah created the human mind and communicated His revelation through words, grammar, arguments, historical accounts, commands, promises, and explanations. The Bible expects readers to understand, compare, infer, remember, and apply what has been written. Romans 10:17 teaches that faith comes from hearing the message concerning Christ. Faith therefore responds to meaningful information.

Acts of the Apostles 17:11 commends the Beroeans because they received Paul’s message eagerly and examined the Scriptures daily to determine whether his teaching was true. Their examination was not condemned as disloyal skepticism. It demonstrated respect for Jehovah’s written revelation. First Thessalonians 5:21 commands Christians to examine everything and hold firmly to what is good. These passages reject gullibility as a Christian virtue.

Sound reasoning, however, must remain under the authority of truth. Human reason is not an independent judge standing above Jehovah. Sin affects the way people interpret evidence, form desires, and defend preferred conclusions. Romans 1:18-25 explains that human beings suppress evident truth, refuse to honor God, and exchange truth for falsehood. Intellectual ability does not guarantee moral honesty. A person can recognize the force of evidence while resisting the conclusion because acceptance would require repentance and submission.

This explains why evidence alone does not automatically produce faithful obedience. The same works of Jesus that moved some people to believe provoked others to intensify their opposition. The difficulty was not an absence of evidence. It was an unwillingness to accept what the evidence established. John 11 records the resurrection of Lazarus and the response of religious leaders who sought to kill Jesus. Their conduct demonstrates that unbelief can persist in the presence of powerful evidence when the heart is committed to resisting divine authority.

The Christian apologist must therefore avoid two opposite errors. One error treats faith as irrational and rejects the need for evidence. The other treats human reasoning as morally neutral and assumes that sufficient facts will compel every person to repent. Scripture rejects both positions. Jehovah provides adequate evidence, and people remain responsible for their response. Reason can identify the truth of an argument, but saving faith requires more than intellectual acknowledgment. James 2:19 observes that the demons believe God exists and shudder. Their knowledge does not produce loyal obedience.

Revelation as the Foundation of Knowledge

Human beings can learn much through observation, memory, investigation, and reason, but they cannot discover every truth they need without revelation from Jehovah. Creation displays God’s power and wisdom. Psalms 19:1-4 describes the heavens as declaring His glory, and Romans 1:19-20 states that His eternal power and divine nature are perceived through the things He has made. The order, intelligibility, and complexity of the universe point beyond themselves to an intelligent Creator.

Creation does not independently reveal the full path of reconciliation with Jehovah. The natural world does not explain the meaning of Christ’s sacrificial death, identify the terms of Christian discipleship, describe the resurrection hope, or provide the detailed moral instruction found in Scripture. These truths depend upon special revelation. Jehovah disclosed them through chosen human writers whom the Holy Spirit guided so that what they wrote was the Word of God.

Second Timothy 3:16 states that all Scripture is inspired by God. Second Peter 1:20-21 explains that prophecy did not originate in the human will, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. Inspiration did not erase the personalities, vocabularies, experiences, or literary abilities of the writers. Moses wrote as Moses, David as David, Luke as Luke, and Paul as Paul. Yet the Holy Spirit directed the process so that the words written communicated what Jehovah intended without error in the original texts.

Because revelation comes through language, interpretation must respect language. Words possess meanings within grammatical and historical contexts. Sentences communicate propositions. Narratives report actions. Poetry uses compressed and figurative expression. Prophecy announces divine messages within identifiable covenant and historical settings. Letters address real congregations and circumstances. Responsible interpretation asks what the inspired writer intended to communicate to his original audience through the words he used.

The historical-grammatical method therefore governs the use of evidence throughout this volume. It examines vocabulary, grammar, syntax, literary form, immediate context, historical circumstances, and the wider teaching of Scripture. It refuses to impose meanings that the inspired writer did not express. It does not turn historical narratives into invented allegories, detach doctrinal statements from their contexts, or treat prophetic books as empty symbols that can be filled with current political events.

Proper exegesis is essential to apologetics because many attacks on Scripture depend upon misinterpretation. A critic may describe two accounts as contradictory when the writers merely selected different details. He may treat a poetic figure as a scientific statement, misunderstand an ancient idiom, confuse what Scripture reports with what it approves, or ignore the historical circumstances surrounding a command. The Christian must first establish what the passage actually says before defending it.

The Cumulative Character of Christian Evidence

The case for Christianity rests upon mutually supporting lines of evidence. No honest presentation should depend upon one isolated archaeological object, one philosophical argument, or one disputed interpretation. The evidence develops cumulatively.

The existence and order of the universe direct attention to a Creator. Human consciousness, rational thought, moral obligation, and personal responsibility correspond to the biblical teaching that mankind was created in God’s image. The Scriptures claim divine inspiration and display remarkable unity across books written by numerous writers in different centuries, locations, social positions, and historical circumstances. Manuscript evidence establishes that the biblical text has been transmitted with extraordinary accuracy. Archaeology and ancient history repeatedly illuminate the people, places, customs, governments, languages, and events described in Scripture.

The Old Testament establishes the foundational account of creation, human rebellion, sin, death, covenant responsibility, sacrifice, judgment, and the need for redemption. Its historical books record both faithfulness and disgrace with striking honesty. Abraham’s fear, Moses’ failure, David’s adultery, Solomon’s apostasy, the corruption of priests, and the repeated rebellion of Israel are not concealed to protect national honor. The writers report these events because their purpose was truth, not propaganda.

The prophets called Israel and Judah back to the revelation already given through Moses. They did not create a new religion. They condemned idolatry, injustice, sexual wrongdoing, false worship, corrupt leadership, and empty ritual. They announced judgments that occurred in history and promises that found fulfillment according to Jehovah’s declared purpose. Biblical prophecy possesses evidential force because it includes identifiable rulers, nations, locations, actions, political changes, and covenant consequences rather than vague predictions capable of endless reinterpretation.

The New Testament continues the same revealed history. The Gospels place Jesus within the recognizable world of first-century Judaism under Roman rule. They name Herod, Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate, Caiaphas, Galilee, Judea, Jerusalem, Nazareth, Capernaum, and the Jordan River. They describe Jewish feasts, synagogue customs, temple practices, political tensions, burial customs, geography, travel routes, and local controversies. Their attention to historical detail is consistent with accounts grounded in real settings rather than stories detached from time and place.

The four Gospels also present complementary perspectives. Differences in selection, emphasis, arrangement, and wording are expected from distinct writers addressing different audiences. Such differences do not amount to contradiction. Two truthful witnesses may describe separate details of the same event without either denying what the other reports. The proper question is whether the accounts make mutually exclusive claims in the same respect and under the same conditions. Many popular accusations of contradiction disappear when that standard is applied carefully.

The historical evidence leads directly to Jesus. Christianity depends upon a real Jesus, not a symbolic figure produced by later religious imagination. The earliest Christian documents present Him as a first-century Jewish man who taught publicly, performed powerful works, confronted religious corruption, gathered disciples, was condemned under Pontius Pilate, died by execution, was buried, and appeared alive after Jehovah raised Him from the dead.

Attempts to separate a merely human “Jesus of history” from the “Christ of faith” begin by excluding parts of the documentary evidence because those parts report supernatural events. That method assumes naturalism before examining the sources. A historian may investigate what witnesses claimed, when they made their claims, whether they were in a position to know, whether their accounts fit the historical setting, and what explanation best accounts for the evidence. He must not declare beforehand that resurrection is impossible and then use that assumption to dismiss every source reporting it.

The Resurrection at the Center of the Christian Claim

The resurrection occupies the central place in Christian evidences because the apostles placed it at the center of their proclamation. First Corinthians 15:14-19 states that Christian preaching and faith would be empty if Christ had not been raised. Paul did not protect Christianity from historical investigation by reducing the resurrection to a symbol. He openly tied the truth of the faith to the reality of the event.

Jesus truly died. The Roman execution procedure, the actions of the soldiers, the public nature of the event, the burial arrangements, and the conduct of His followers establish that His death was real. He was buried in a known tomb. Women who had followed Him observed the burial location. The tomb was later found empty. The earliest opposing explanations did not deny that the body was missing but attempted to account for its absence.

The resurrected Jesus appeared to individuals and groups under varied circumstances. The appearances were not confined to one person, one location, or one moment of emotional excitement. He appeared to Peter, the apostles, James, Paul, and a large gathering of believers. The disciples spoke with Him, observed Him, and became convinced that the same Jesus who had died was alive.

The transformation of the disciples requires an adequate cause. Before Jesus’ arrest, they misunderstood important aspects of His mission. During His arrest and execution, they became fearful and scattered. Afterward, they proclaimed His resurrection publicly despite imprisonment, violence, rejection, and the threat of death. Willingness to suffer does not establish that every belief held by a sincere person is true. It does establish that the apostles were not knowingly promoting an account they had invented. Their conduct is consistent with their repeated claim that they had encountered the risen Christ.

Alternative explanations fail to account for the whole body of evidence. Hallucination does not explain the empty tomb or the varied group appearances. Theft does not explain the disciples’ sincere conviction that they had seen and interacted with Jesus. A wrong-tomb proposal does not explain the inability of opponents to identify the correct location and produce the body. The claim that Jesus merely survived execution conflicts with the evidence of His death and cannot account for the disciples’ proclamation of a gloriously resurrected Lord. The resurrection remains the explanation that accounts for the death, burial, empty tomb, appearances, apostolic transformation, and rapid emergence of resurrection-centered preaching.

The event also carries theological meaning. Jehovah’s raising of Jesus vindicated His Son, confirmed the value of His sacrifice, demonstrated His victory over death, and guaranteed future judgment. Acts of the Apostles 17:30-31 declares that Jehovah has fixed a day in which He will judge the inhabited earth through the appointed Man and has given assurance by raising Him from the dead. First Peter 1:3 connects the resurrection of Jesus with the living hope of Christians. The Christian hope is not survival through an immortal soul. It is resurrection by Jehovah through Jesus Christ.

Miracles, Prophecy, and Divine Action

Biblical miracles are signs of Jehovah’s power and purpose. A miracle is not merely an unusual event or something for which an observer lacks an immediate natural explanation. Biblical miracles occur within revelation and serve identifiable purposes. They authenticate chosen representatives, confirm divine messages, demonstrate authority over creation, expose false worship, deliver God’s people, display compassion, and advance the redemptive purpose centered on Christ.

The Bible does not present miracles as violations committed by an irrational deity against an orderly universe. The regular order of nature exists because Jehovah created and sustains it. The Creator who established that order possesses the ability to act within His creation. Denying miracles before examining the evidence does not arise from historical investigation; it arises from a philosophical commitment that excludes divine action in advance.

The miracles of Jesus belong to His historical ministry and reveal His identity. He healed diseases, restored sight, exercised authority over destructive spirits, controlled natural forces, and raised the dead. These works were not presented as secret performances witnessed only by committed followers. Some occurred in public, before crowds, religious opponents, local residents, and people familiar with those who had been healed. His enemies did not consistently deny that extraordinary works occurred. They attacked the source of His authority or sought to suppress the consequences of the signs.

Fulfilled prophecy provides another line of evidence. Jehovah distinguishes Himself from false gods by His ability to declare His purpose and bring it to fulfillment. Isaiah 46:9-10 presents Him as the One declaring the end from the beginning. Deuteronomy 18:20-22 establishes that a prophet speaking presumptuously in Jehovah’s name would be exposed when his prediction failed.

Prophecy must be interpreted according to its wording and historical setting. A genuine fulfillment corresponds to what the inspired writer communicated, not to a resemblance invented after the fact. Chronology, audience, covenant background, geography, political conditions, and grammatical details all matter. Careless interpretation weakens apologetics by claiming fulfillments the text does not support. Disciplined interpretation reveals that biblical prophecy contains concrete content beyond human foresight.

The Preservation and Trustworthiness of Scripture

Christianity depends upon written revelation, making textual preservation a necessary part of Christian evidences. Modern readers do not possess the physical manuscripts originally written by the prophets, apostles, and their associates. They possess a vast body of copies, translations, quotations, and related witnesses. This circumstance does not prevent recovery of the original wording. The abundance of textual evidence allows qualified scholars to compare manuscripts, identify copying changes, and determine the reading that best explains the surviving evidence.

The Old Testament was transmitted through disciplined scribal activity. The Dead Sea Scrolls provide Hebrew manuscripts many centuries older than the principal complete medieval codices and demonstrate substantial stability in the text. Differences exist because copyists were human, but those differences are visible and subject to examination. The existence of variants does not prove that the text has been lost. Variants can be evaluated precisely because multiple witnesses survive.

The New Testament possesses a broad manuscript tradition consisting of papyri, majuscule manuscripts, minuscule manuscripts, lectionaries, ancient translations, and quotations in early Christian writings. Most differences involve spelling, word order, repeated expressions, accidental omissions, or other ordinary copying matters. No central Christian doctrine disappears because of an unresolved textual reading.

Inspiration properly applies to the original writings. Preservation does not require the impossible claim that every copyist reproduced every letter without error. Jehovah’s Word has been preserved through the manuscript tradition so that careful textual examination provides reliable access to the original text. The Hebrew Old Testament and Greek New Testament critical texts are 99.99 percent accurate to the originals. The remaining places requiring evaluation do not leave Christianity without its doctrines, commands, historical foundation, or message of salvation.

Translation must then communicate the original-language text as accurately as possible. A translation should preserve what the inspired writer wrote while using legitimate English grammar and syntax. Translators must not replace the biblical text with their own explanation of what they believe the writer intended. Interpretation belongs primarily to the reader and teacher working from the translated text. A translation that repeatedly expands, softens, or reshapes the wording according to theological preference can conceal important details and weaken confidence in Scripture.

Evidence and the Transformation of Life

Christian evidences do not end with the intellectual recognition that Christianity possesses strong historical support. Truth calls for a response. John 20:30-31 explains that the signs of Jesus were recorded so that readers might believe and receive life through His name. Acts of the Apostles 17:30 declares that Jehovah commands people everywhere to repent. Evidence establishes responsibility because knowledge of the truth removes the excuse of uninformed indifference.

The transforming power of Scripture must not be confused with mystical communication outside the written Word. The Holy Spirit inspired the biblical writings, and those writings guide Christians by informing and reforming their minds. Jesus prayed, “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth” in John 17:17. Romans 12:2 commands believers to be transformed by renewing their minds. This renewal occurs as a person accurately understands Scripture, recognizes its authority, compares his beliefs and conduct with it, and makes the necessary corrections.

Hebrews 4:12 describes the Word of God as living, active, and capable of discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. The statement belongs to the warning developed in Hebrews chapters 3 and 4. The Israelites heard Jehovah’s message, but many did not respond with obedient faith. The same Word confronts Christians with the danger of developing an unbelieving heart. Scripture is living and effective because Jehovah’s message continues to expose motives, identify disobedience, awaken the conscience, and demand a response.

The Bible changes lives by changing thought. Human conduct grows from beliefs, desires, assumptions, habits, and judgments. A person shaped by the present wicked world absorbs false ideas concerning success, sexuality, power, money, death, identity, freedom, and happiness. Scriptural renewal replaces those distortions with Jehovah’s standards. The believer learns to view sin as rebellion rather than self-expression, obedience as loyalty rather than oppression, and eternal life as Jehovah’s gift rather than a natural human possession.

This transformation supplies an important confirmation of the Bible’s practical truth, but personal experience must remain subordinate to Scripture. A powerful feeling cannot establish doctrine. Followers of contradictory religions report intense experiences. The Christian does not begin with an inward impression and then use it to control the meaning of the Bible. He begins with the inspired Word, interprets it accurately, obeys it, and observes the moral and spiritual results produced by truth.

The Purpose and Use of This Manual

This manual has been written for Christians who want to understand why they believe, explain their hope, answer objections, and strengthen others. It is also intended for readers who are investigating Christianity and are willing to examine its claims on the basis of evidence rather than dismissing them through assumptions inherited from secular culture.

The chapters proceed from foundational questions to the central historical claims of the Christian faith. The reader will first consider why evidence belongs to Christianity and why divine revelation is both necessary and reasonable. Attention will then turn to how Jehovah has spoken through creation and Scripture. The Old and New Testaments will be examined as historical and textual documents whose credibility can be investigated.

The person of Jesus will receive special attention because Christian faith cannot be separated from Him. The historical evidence for His life, the reliability of the Gospel accounts, His public ministry, His death, and the apostolic witness will prepare the way for a detailed examination of the resurrection. Prophecy and miracles will then be considered within their Scriptural settings rather than through sensational claims or naturalistic assumptions.

The spread of Christianity will be examined as a historical development rooted in Christ’s command to make disciples. Christianity advanced through apostolic preaching, personal evangelism, the establishment of congregations, the circulation of inspired writings, Bible translation, and the courage of ordinary believers. Its expansion cannot be explained merely through political force or material advantage. The earliest Christians frequently faced social rejection, economic loss, imprisonment, and death. Yet they continued proclaiming a crucified and resurrected Messiah because they were convinced that the message was true and that obedience to Christ was required.

The final movement toward the transforming power of Scripture is deliberate. Christian evidences are not intellectual decorations added to an otherwise emotional religion. They direct the reader to Jehovah’s revealed truth, and that truth exposes the heart. A person may learn the evidence for the Bible, understand the case for the resurrection, recognize fulfilled prophecy, and admit that Christianity provides the coherent explanation of reality while still refusing to obey. Such refusal does not arise from a lack of evidence. It arises from resistance to the moral authority of the truth.

The proper use of this manual therefore requires honesty. Readers should examine claims carefully, consult the cited passages, consider context, distinguish evidence from assertion, and refuse both gullibility and prejudiced dismissal. Christians should use the material to serve others rather than display superiority. Knowledge carries greater accountability. The person able to answer a difficult question must do so with patience, accuracy, courage, and concern for the spiritual welfare of the questioner.

Jehovah does not call Christians to defend an uncertain message. He has acted, spoken, preserved His Word, raised His Son, and supplied sufficient grounds for faith. The Christian’s task is to learn that truth accurately, live in harmony with it, proclaim it openly, and remain prepared to explain why the hope founded upon Jesus Christ is both historically credible and eternally necessary.
