Acts 17:26-29

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Acts 17:26-29

26From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands.
27God intended that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.
28‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’
29Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man’s skill and imagination.
— Acts 17:26-29
