In this message from Acts 17:25–29, Paul proclaims to the Athenians that God is both the Creator of humanity and the Controller of history. Humanity did not evolve from lower life forms but was created from “one man,” Adam, through whom every nation descends. Rejecting evolutionary and theistic reinterpretations, the lesson defends a literal Adam and Eve as essential to understanding sin, redemption, and the gospel—since through Adam’s fall came sin and through Christ, the “last Adam,” comes salvation. Paul’s teaching directly confronts human pride, cultural superiority, and the illusion of human self-sufficiency, declaring that all people share one Creator, one ancestry, and one need for redemption. Furthermore, God not only made all nations but also determined their times and boundaries, showing His complete sovereignty over history. Humanity’s purpose is not to define God through reason or science but to seek and worship Him, for He alone reveals life’s true meaning.
