Peter does not say "give an explanation," but a reason of the hope that is in you" -- be ready to say what you base your hope on. Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God Whose ways you cannot understand at the time. "I don't know why God allows what He does, but I will stick to my faith in His character no matter how contradictory things look." Faith is not a conscious thing; it springs from a personal relationship and is the unconscious result of believing someone.
