“God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.” Acts 17:27 (NIV)
*What happened on Mars Hill in Athens?
We have looked previously at some of the teaching the apostle Paul did in the city of Athens. It was on what we call Mars Hill* that he shared the gospel to a group of people. The people of Athens were intelligent people who sought truth and reason, but they did not know God. Paul taught them how God had created human beings to live around the world in many different places. These words remind us of the great desire regarding His human creatures. This, of course includes each one of us today. God wants us to seek Him and to reach out for Him. We are also reminded when we reach out for God we will find Him. God is not far away from any of us but He does want us to seek Him and to reach out for Him. And, how do we do that? We reach out for him for God by faith believing and when we do, He promises to be there so He is there.
