God made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples, and human hands can’t serve his needs—for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need. From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries.

“His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and exist. We shouldn’t think of God as an idol designed from gold or silver or stone. God overlooked people’s ignorance about these things in earlier times, but now commands everyone everywhere to repent of their sins and turn to him. He has set a day for judging the world with justice by the man he has appointed, Jesus, and he proved it by raising him from the dead. 

This is the message of Good News for all people- that there is peace with God through Jesus who is Lord of all. Jesus is the one all the prophets testified about, saying that everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name. Jesus proved he was from God by doing powerful miracles, wonders, and signs. God’s prearranged plan was carried out when Jesus was betrayed. He was nailed to a cross and killed. His death fulfilled what the prophets had foretold about Jesus. But God released him from death and raised him back to life on the third day. Then over many days he appeared to those who had been with him. Now he sits in heaven at God’s right hand. For he must remain in heaven until the time for the final restoration of all things. As God promised, he has given us his Holy Spirit to pour out on us.

There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved. Through this man Jesus there is forgiveness for your sins. Everyone who believes in him is made right in God’s sight. We are all saved by the underserved grace of Jesus.   

Repent of your sins and turn to God so refreshment will come from God and he will again send Jesus. Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus for forgiveness of sins and you will receive the Holy Spirit.
