Another thing that we will want to make clear to people who aren't Christians is that God is a person. It may sound odd for me to tell you this, but you need to consider your audience. People today think about God as something other than a real person. He is a principle, a deity (think Zeus or Thor), a 'spiritual' thing out there (whatever that means). But that's not Him. He is a real person. And that means that He thinks and feels. He enters into relationships which He enjoys. He responds to things. He loves. He hates. He is patient. He gets angry. He acts in decisive ways. And He waits to act. He's a person. And that means that we are inviting people to come to know a person and not just acknowledge some doctrines or do some religious things. We want them to come to know God as a person and to enjoy His friendship. The key to communicating this isn't bound up in some deep and detailed conversation with these folk. We will communicate this by how we live. What will attract people - remember, that is where we started - is our relating to God as a real person, enjoying our friendship with Him. They will see that as we interact with them and talk about our lives with them. And that will be so attractive. And if they do become Christians then they will have already taken an important first step. They will know that God is a person to enjoy.
