The Areopagus Council

You are very religious.

The things they worship.

'TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.'

That they worshiped a god that they didn't know.

This is the God I want to tell you about. "He is the God who made the whole world and everything in it. He is the Lord of the land and the sky. He does not live in temples built by human hands. He is the one who gives people life, breath, and everything else they need.

He said, “God does not need any help from them. He has everything he needs.”

God began by making one man, and from him he made all the different people who live everywhere in the world. He decided exactly when and where they would live.

Paul said, "God wanted people to look for him, and perhaps in searching all around for him, they would find him.

Paul said, “He is not far from any of us. It is through him that we are able to live, to do what we do, and to be who we are.

'We all come from him.' "That's right. We all come from God.

In the past people did not understand God, and he overlooked this.

Now he is telling everyone in the world to change and turn to him.

Paul said that to do this he will use a man he chose long ago.

He proved it by raising him from death!"

Some of them laughed. But others said, "We will hear more about this from you later."
