TEXT: Acts 17:22-31
Introduction
Paul was troubled by the many pagan gods in Athens, Greece.
Paul knew that they worshiped these gods in ignorance.
He delivers a masterful sermon on who “God Is”
He is the CREATOR of everything, for " God made the world and all things therein."
He is the POSSESSOR of all things, for " He is Lord of heaven and earth."
He is the GIVER of life to every one, for He "giveth to all life, and breath."
He is the DISTRIBUTOR of all things, for " He giveth to all . , . all things."
He is the UNITER of all men to one another, for He hath made of one blood all nations of men."
He is the ALLOCATOR Of all things, for He "causes all nations of men to dwell on the earth, and has determined the bounds of their habitations."
He is the ATTRACTION of all men, for they are made to feel after Him.
He is the OMNIPRESENT ONE to all men, for “He is not far from every one of us."
He is the ENVIRONMENT of all men, "for in Him we live and move and have our being."
He is the FATHER of all men, for men are said to be "His offspring,"
He is the GOD of all men, hence He "now commands all men everywhere to repent."
He is the JUDGE of all men, for "He has appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in
righteousness."
He is willing to be the SAVIOR of all men, and He has given "assurance" of this, for He hath raised up Christ from the dead.
He is the RULER of all men. He write the rules, and inspired them to be written in the Bible. He will enforce and administer the rules at the judgment.
