“ When I arrived here the other day, I was fascinated with all the shrines I came across. And then I found one inscribed, to the god nobody knows. I’m here to introduce you to this God so you can worship intelligently, and know who you’re dealing with.
“The God who made the world and everything in it, this Master of sky and land, doesn’t live in custom-made shrines or need the human race to run errands for him, as if he couldn’t take care of himself. He makes the creatures; the creatures don’t make him. Starting from scratch, he made the entire human race and made the earth hospitable, with plenty of time and space for living so we could seek after God, and not just grope around in the dark but actually find him. He doesn’t play hide-and-seek with us. He’s not remote; he’s near. We live and move in him, can’t get away from him!
“God overlooks it as long as you don’t know any better—but that time is past. The unknown is now known, and he’s calling for a radical life-change.” ~Acts 17:22-31
My pretension is that everyone is searching for God, but only a few know how to find Him. Many people go through life looking for an unknown god. Fortunately, you don’t have to. You can know God. You can have a relationship with Him and experience Him in everyday life.
Rick Warren said, “You are as close to God as you want to be.”
The Bible says if you draw close to God, He will draw close to you. If you’re searching for God or no content in your relationship with Him, I encourage you to seek Him out:
- Start reading the Bible!
- Get in a good church that teaches the Bible.
- Get around people who you know that have a great relationship with Him and ask them questions.
You don’t have to go through life searching for an unknown God. You can go through life knowing the God who created you. The God who created the universe. The God who gave His son to die for you.
I love how the scriptures above end. “The unknown is now known, and He’s calling for a radical life-change. I’m passionate about my relationship with God because I’ve experienced a radical life-change as a result of that relationship.
God is waiting for you to find Him, He’s right here. You cannot experience God and not have your life changed! Go after Him. I promise you, one interaction with our known God, and you will experience radical life-change!
