Acts 17:29
Compare all
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.”

What Does Acts 17:29 Mean?



Acts 17:29

From knowing what man—God's offspring—is like, we can know that God will be a living, communicating, creating, emotional Being but of perfect character. That perfection was replicated only one time—in Jesus of Nazareth. He had what we lack, the divine nature, complete with all the perfect character to go with it!
