As Paul used to preach, he went to the Areopagus to share the word of God with them. Paul, standing in the middle of the Areopagus, said, men of Athens I perceive that in every way you are very religious. As I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, to an unknown god.

The God who made the world and everything in it, being lord of heaven and earth does not live in a shrine made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything since he gives to all men life and breath and everything.

And he made from one every nation of men to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their habitation, that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel after Jim and find him.

He is not from each one of us, for in him we live and move and have our being, as even some of your poets have said, for we are indeed his offspring.
Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the Deity is like gold, or silver, or stone, a representation by the art and imagination of man.

The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all men everywhere to repent because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and of this, he has given assurance to all men by raising him from the dead.

Now they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked,
but others said we will hear you again about this. Paul went out from among them. But some men joined him and believed, among them Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.

The above message was sent to the Areopagus for repentance.
Beloved, as the coming of Christ, is at hand, let all repent from our bad deeds because he is going to judge us according to what we are doing.

May the good lord help us to follow his path every day and every night.
Thanks for having a special time for this article.
