Acts 17:28 - "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."
(Read the entire account of Paul on Mar's Hill (Areopagus) found from verse 16 to verse 34).
Here we have Paul, addressing the leading Greek philosophical classes of the day and doing it on their own turf. The Greeks were not far from truth in their search for it. But here Paul brings them to the God that on whose door they were knocking, so to speak. The apostle preached to these men the one true God and His coming in the person of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, revealing to them that He is the end of their searching for ultimate truth and reality. Some accepted and some rejected, which will always be the case in evangelism. Our job is to present the truth of the gospel and be ready to meet the challenges head on. We need to prepare our hearts with knowledge and reliance upon the Spirit of Truth who will guide us in our tasks. But He must have something to work with and that falls on us to study to prepare ourselves to engage the market place of ideas. You don't have to be afraid, we have the upper hand, for we have the Truth, or rather, He has us.
