Unapologetic About My Faith in Jesus

The world seems to have gone half mad. Sadly, the madness often surrounds the foundations of the Christian faith. But I remain unapologetic.

Christian values are ridiculed. Or, spiritual and biblical principles are questioned as valid and relevant or relatable. But I remain unapologetic.

And people (and the enemy) try to convince us truth is relative and up for debate. Or, culture whispers in our ear, We each have our own version of truth—and that’s okay.

But it’s not okay.

If you follow this blog, you know I’ve experienced rude remarks on social media about my faith.

 Still, I’m unapologetic about the foundations of my faith.

When the world questions truth and Christian values, I remain unapologetic about my faith in Jesus Christ. Share on X

Here are 3 key foundations to remain unapologetic about.

1.) Unapologetic about the Bible and its Truth

Not only does God’s Word never return void, it also never goes out of style like the changing times.

Consider how the Bible helps us live out our faith. It’s God’s how-to manual for a godly life. The Holy Scriptures are a wealth of spiritual knowledge for Christian living.

So, the more we are in God’s Word, the more we do the right thing…the godly thing…the Jesus thing, and do it all more often.

In John 17, Jesus prayed over His disciples.

“I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth” (verses 14-19, ESV). 

2.) I’ll Never Apologize for Redemption and its Story

Once I spoke to a FCA middle school huddle and I felt the Lord nudging me to change my message the morning of the meeting.

As I arrived at the school, the P.E. teacher and coach conveyed how most of the kids do not go to church. And I heard the story of one young girl in Foster Care. She asked the coach and others to pray a Christian family adopted her and would take her to church.

So, it’s no surprise the Lord moved in my heart to change the message I had planned to share. Instead, I told my story; how I personally met Jesus Christ at sixteen and about God’s redeeming grace—the gospel.

Because one of the beautiful aspects of God’s redeeming grace is how it meets us where we are, not where we think we should be.

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree’” (Galatians 3:13, ESV). 

“Let the redeemed of the Lord tell their story—those he redeemed from the hand of the foe” (Psalm 107:2, NIV). 

3.) Unapologetic for Jesus and His Blood

Although sin separated us from God, Jesus made a way to God through His blood—the gift of salvation.

The blood that flowed through Immanuel’s veins, spilled out on Calvary’s cross. It cleanses our sins, gives us new life, and a new heart (triple bypass from the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). We are redeemed by His blood, set free by His blood, and adopted into God’s family by His blood.

The blood of Jesus will never lose its power! Jesus is mighty to save! (Isaiah 63:1.)

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace” (Ephesians 1:7, ESV).

“And all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith” (Romans 3:24-25a, NIV).

I refuse to apologize for the Bible and its truth, redemption and its story, Jesus and His blood. #Jesus #redemption Share on X
