By Dan Taylor in Lubbock, TX - June 24, 2023 - Today I want to cover a scripture that we often read and perhaps recite from memory, but possibly fail to grasp the profound significance of what it really means. I want to probe the depth of this scripture with you and help each of us really come to know its relevance in our lives. You see it is a scripture, the meaning of which, goes to the very depths of our calling.
Turn with me to 1 Peter 3:15 "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear:". This scripture speaks to the very reason you are here today; here to learn about God's word. It speaks to why you obey God, keep His commandments, worship on the Sabbath Day and keep the Holy Days. It speaks to being open to letting God change you and your belief that you have an inheritance in the Kingdom of God.
