John Richardson (Harrogate) read from Acts Chapter 17 about Paul's witness concerning Christ to the Athenians at the Areopagus. The Athenians in Paul's day, shortly after Jesus' death were religious people, but they worshipped a God they did not know. Paul declared to them who God is. Hi is the Creator of the world, he gives life to us and determines our time on earth. Paul revealed that God now commands all me everywhere to repent because God has set a day when He will judge the world by Jesus Christ whom He raised from the dead. It is through believing in Jesus that we have forgiveness and are able to come before God with our sins cleansed because Jesus died for us.
