The Unknown God (Acts 17:24-31)

While visiting Athens, Paul preached on the nature, characteristics and concerns of the One True God (Acts 17:22–23).

Jehovah made the world & all things in it.

Jehovah is Lord of heaven and earth.

Jehovah does not dwell in temples made with hands.

Jehovah is not served by human hands, as though He needed anything.

Jehovah gives to all people life and breath and all things.

Jehovah made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth.

Jehovah determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation.

Jehovah desires that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him.

Jehovah is not far from each one of us.

Jehovah is the giver and sustainer of life: in Him we live and move and exist, as even some Greek poets have said, “For we also are His children.”

Jehovah is not limited by man’s misconceptions: “Being then the children of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and thought of man.”

The Lord God (Jehovah), having overlooked the times of ignorance, is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent.

The Lord God (Jehovah) has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed.

The Lord God (Jehovah) has furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead.

Some sneered at Paul’s message, others showed a willingness to listen, and a few believed; to which class do you and I belong (Acts 17:32–34)?
