Acts 17 | We Are the Offspring of God | The Bible

Paul, in Athens, preaches from Mars’ Hill about the unknown god. He says, We are the offspring of God.

Acts 17:16–34

16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.
19 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is?
20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
21 (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25 Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.
33 So Paul departed from among them.
34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

  • This video is a great reminder that we are all children of God and we are all brothers and sisters. 
  • I am not into Christianity but hats off to Mormon channel , whenever I watch these videos I don't know why my eyes fills with tears don't know why

    Many find it odd we have so many epistles of Paul in The Holy Bible, but I am grateful. It shows us his conversion was deep and total. I love him and grateful I was a missionary so I could know what it was and is like to step in the shoes of the Apostles declaring the good news of Christ. Granted I do not have the authority of an apostle. But I had the authority and power to preach the Gospel. That all may have the same peace and joy I have as a member of Christ's restored church.
  • This is one of my most favorites of sermons in the Bible. In just a few words it is filled with doctrines such as pre-existence of mankind, that we are all brothers and sisters, regardless of race distinction - the children of God. God is above all, but yet is to be known and understood. Beautifully done! Thanks, ddd :O)
  • I like the depiction of Paul.
  • Thank you for this meaningful message which reminds me why I should obey Heavenly Father's commandments and believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior. May Heavenly Father blessed you brothers and sisters for your effort making these wonderful videos!
  • Feel after the Lord For in Him we live We, His offspring Hope in all things Articles of Faith 13 We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

    This proves that we are all one with God as God because we are of he's offspring.

  • This touched my heart and I believe God really is answering my prayers and showing himself to me God bless everyone I believe in Jesus Christ I love you Amen xxxxxxxxxx
  • In Him we live and move and have our being. God has His being in no one but Himself. Our being is in Him, He is in Himself. There is no other God besides the only living and true God.
  • Our body is the dwelling Temple of The Holy Spirit of God in which he dwells through the saving blood of only begotten Son of many sons and daughter that received the ROYAL BLOOD through FAITH in him and from grace to grace and constant pruning away of our old being in him now we live and move and have our BEING 🙏🕯️🌹
