  • Acts 17:23-30 : 23 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 worshiping in ignorance the very one I proclaim to you. 24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by human hands. 25 Nor is he served by human hands as if he needed anything, since he himself gives everyone life, breath, and everything else. 26 From one man, he made every nation of mankind to live on the entire face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation. 27 He did this so that they would seek the Lord, if perhaps they might feel their way toward him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. 28 For in him we live and move and have our being, as some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also his offspring.' 29 Therefore, since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold, silver, or stone—an image formed by human skill and imagination. 30 In the past, God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.

In the heavens, He has pitched a tent for the sun. 6 It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

When He is angry, the earth trembles; the nations cannot endure His wrath. 11 Tell them this: 'The gods who did not make the heavens and the earth will perish from the earth and from under the heavens.' 12 God made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding. 13 At the sound of His thunder, water roars in the heavens. He causes clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain and brings wind out of His storehouses.
