God knows and cares about us personally
Notice God who could speak galaxies into existence, "planted a garden" and "placed man there", he has cared for us and about us since the beginning. And he's proven himself time and again as generously gracious and faithful.
God's generous grace and mercy
You visit the earth and cause it to overflow; You greatly enrich it; The stream of God is full of water; You prepare their grain, for thus You prepare the earth. Psalm 65:9
Christian Theology in Plain Language, p. 219.
"Non-Christians often ask the Christian, “But how can the God of love allow any of his creatures to suffer unending misery?” The question is, how can he not? The fact that God is love makes hell necessary. “Hell,” as E. L. Mascall once said, “is not compatible with God’s love; it is a direct consequence of it.” That was his way of stressing the fact that the very God who loves us is the one who respects our decisions. He loves us, but he does not force his love on us. To force love is to commit assault. He allows us to decide. He loves us, he encourages our response, he woos us, he pursues us, he urges us, but he does not force us, because he respects us."
