Ignorance Confronted By Boldness And Respect

Acts 17:22-25

Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: 'People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship – and this is what I am going to proclaim to you. 'The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands. And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else.' (NIVUK)

Paul's preaching at the Areopagus in Athens was bold. But he spoke with great respect to the philosophers and the senators of the 'court of ideas, education and religion'. He described his tour of the city and concluded that they were very religious – overwhelmingly worshipping the Greek and Roman gods in their temples, although there were some Jews and God-seekers in the city (Acts 17:17).
