The One True God
from Solid Rock Church Sermons Hosted by Jason Williams
In the sermon this past Sunday, we looked at Paul ’ s response to the idol worship going on in Athens. Upon entering the city, Paul w as very disturbed by what he saw. Instead of seeing a beautiful city that was full of knowledge and culture, he saw a city that was steeped in idolatry and evil. The people of At hens had manufactured an entire religious system that allowed them to control and manipulate the gods in order to feed their desires for pleasure. Dissatisfied with thei r religious system and their manmade gods, the Greeks took it one step further by creating an addit ional altar: the altar “ To The Unknown God. ” In a similar way, modern American culture has become skept ical of absolute truth and we see a shift away from Truth-driven living and toward pleasure- driven living. Our culture is recirculating the Greek philosophy, “ If it feels good, it must be right. ” Even in Christianity, there is a shift away from a Bible-based vi ew of God to a modified version of God that can be controlled and manipulated. Like the peo ple of Athens, we need to return to the one true God. The God of the Bible is not sa fe but He is always good. He is a God who wages war against the injustices of this world and br ings to nothing the pride of His enemies. The God of the Bible is a God who displays wrath towards His enemies and unending love towards those who trust in Him.
