Acts 17:28 - Forerunner Commentary

Acts 17:28

26 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and ^athe boundaries of their dwellings,

27 ^aso that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, ^bthough He is not far from each one of us;

28 for ^ain Him we live and move and have our being, ^bas also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’

29 Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, ^awe ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man’s devising.

30 Truly, ^athese times of ignorance God overlooked, but ^bnow commands all men everywhere to repent,

31 because He has appointed a day on which ^aHe will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by ^braising Him from the dead.”
