Stephen presents the story of the redemption of God’s people beginning from Abraham to the time of Solomon. The relevance of this is that retelling the story will show that what he teaches is in accordance with God’s plan and that they are in error in rejecting the Lord Jesus Christ.
Stephen takes this rhetorical style to defend himself and in every part of the account shows the need for obedience to God, something they were not doing.
For us it is relevant because it shows us in the same way, that obedience to God is fundamental in our lives. In addition, we need yo be aware of what He is doing in and around us. It also teaches us the need to learn to communicate the truth in a clear and direct way to those who need to hear it with the intent to show Jesus as Savior and not to win an argument.
