Acts 17:24-28 – "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands.

God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'"
