The apostle Paul is still speaking to the Epicurean and the Stoic Philosophers in the Areopagus. And he is attempting to instruct them concerning the great mistake in their thinking, that there is more than one true and living God. He is showing them that it is a great sin against God when a person worships idols instead of God Himself. He has proclaimed to them that God is a God who can be known. He has proclaimed to them that God is the God who has made us. He has told them that God is a God who is very near to each one of us. And now, at this point in his message, Paul will set forth to these men God's will for them, and for all men; that is, that God has commanded all men everywhere to repent. It is this statement that I would like us to look at, at this time. Let me give you the 4 questions which relate to repentance, which come to us from these verses. 1st – What does Paul mean when he says – God has overlooked the times of ignorance? 2nd – What is this repentance which God commands? 3rd – According to Paul, why is it necessary that all men everywhere repent? And 4th – What is the proof that God will judge the world in righteousness, through our Lord Jesus Christ? In answering these questions, I hope that each of you will ask yourself whether you personally have repented. If you have repented, you will have the assurance that you have eternal life and you can look forward to the Day when Christ will return.
