Don't We All Religions Worship The Same God?
40 Days Of Growth: Urban Legend # 1
October 21st, 2007 ~ 1 Peter 3:15-17

1 Peter 3:15-17
"But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. It is better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

"If anybody asks why you believe as you do, be ready to tell him, and do it in a gentle and respectful way." 1 Peter 3:15b (LB)

"You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me." Isaiah 43:10 (NIV)

"Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer the LORD of hosts: 'I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God besides Me." Isaiah 44:6 (NASB)

"God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:24 (NKJV)

"Every good and perfect gift... is from the Father - who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:17 (NIV)
