Your Personal Relationship with God Matters

When people ask, "Why are you hopeful in the midst of this world, with all of the suffering and evil that goes on and all of the things that are happening to you?" they don't want to hear merely about a great God. They don't want to hear merely about redemptive history, an infallible book, or a covenant people who are a constant testimony to the real hand of God in history. They want to know what's happening to you, what's going on in your life. You are saying, "He is my fortress, he is my deliverer." So they're going to want to know when the last time he delivered you was. What does deliverance mean? How does this really work? Sharing the good news is often about sharing the personal good news of your life in Christ and not the abstract and generalized good news. They want to hear about your personal relationship to this personal God, who is the foundation of all of reality.
