A speech given by Paul in the Areopagus in Athens about 2000 years ago:
"The God who made the
world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell
in temples made with hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though he needed
anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things;
and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the
earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their
habitation, that they should seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and
find Him, though He is not far from any of us; for in Him we live and move and
exist, as even some of your own poets have said, 'for we also are His
children.'"
"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. Therefore having overlooked
the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere
should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in
righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all
men by raising Him from the dead."--Acts 17:24-31
