The death and resurrection of Jesus are the pivotal events in all of human history,

and yet there are many who remain skeptical or they flat out reject the truth of the gospel.

So what gave the Apostle Paul such confidence to preach that Jesus is alive and that he

is the way to salvation?

Alistair Begg answers that question today on Truth for Life.

He's teaching a message titled, Some Strange Ideas.

Acts chapter 7 and verse 24.

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 hands, and he is not served by human hands as if he needed

anything because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else.

From one man he made every nation of men that they should inhabit the whole earth, and

he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.

God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him,

though he is not far from each 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.

For since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold

or silver or stone and image made by man's design and skill.

In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to

repent.

For he has said a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed.

He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead.
