Acts 17:22-23
22 Then Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are very religious; 23 for as I was passing through and considering the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Therefore, the One whom you worship without knowing, Him I proclaim to you:
Paul pointed out the religious desires of the Athenians, and used the altars and idols to point to the one God they did not know, yet acknowledged He existed. Paul began to show that the unknown God could actually be known by them. So he began to proclaim Him, to announce and explain who the only God is and how to know Him in Jesus Christ His Son alone. He preached the words of life and reconciliation in Christ.
