God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands. Nor is He worshiped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, since He gives to all life, breath, and all things.
And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.'
Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man's devising.
As we saw yesterday, that there is a universal sense of religion that imbues all men. It is the charasteristic that distinguishesman from all other created life forms.
Now, one step further. The LORD, God, the Almighty needs nothing from His created beings. But He desires much. He wants visable evdence of our love. John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments.”
