The Scripture is the SUREST and ONLY revelation of God.
Scripture doesn’t teach that man can know God by nature, but that certain things about God can be known by nature [Rom 1:19-20].
The specific things that can be known about Him are:
His eternal power and
His divine nature.
We know that God exists, and nature can teach us things about Him, but we CANNOT discover God from nature.
In the past, men knew God and their hearts weren’t darkened [Rom 1:21].
God doesn’t live in man-made temples, not because He’s invisible or any other concocted reason, but because He’s the Lord of heaven and earth [Acts 17:25].
“that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him, and find Him” [Acts 17:27] confirms Paul’s words that men are blind, because they “feel after Him”. They “feel after Him”
the way the blind grope about unable to see.
“For in Him we live and move and have our being” means “we are also His offspring” [Acts 17:28]. This verse therefore doesn’t speak of God’s omnipresence.
The verse teaches that God is our Father
In the same way, “All nations are blessed ‘IN’ Abraham” [Gen 12:3] means to be under Abraham—that is, to be his child [Gal 3:7-8, 29].
The same applies to Jesus. To be in Jesus is to be His own, His child—to be under His authority.
In the same way that “that God may be all in all” [1Co 15:28] signifies God’s supreme authority over all things rather than their absorption into His being, the statement “in Him we live and move and have our being”
should be understood as expressing God’s sovereignty over creation, not literal indwelling.
The first clear summary of the Kingdom of God is when God said He would make a great nation out of Abraham [Gen 12:2]
This following is the timeline of the Gospel of the Kingdom
Abraham will become a great nation
He’ll be blessed
He will be a blessing
God will bless those who bless Abraham (reward of the righteous)
God will curse those who curse him (Judgment for the sinner)
Abraham being a blessing is tied to the nation that he becomes [Gen 12:2]
As they degraded God’s glory/image by exchanging the glory of God for images of men, birds, and reptiles, He gave them over to the degrading of their own bodies [Rom 1:22-27].
