The Real and Only God There are many false gods (Acts 17: 16-23, cp. Col. 3: 5). Paul presented only one real God (Acts 17: 24-31). In this study, we shall allow the Bible to identify the real and only God for us. Introduce the real and only God, the God of the Bible. Show how Paul is preaching the real God to these Greek philosophers in Athens in Acts 17: 24-31. Paul shows that the only God is the Creator, does not need men as idols do, the benefactor, accessible, demands knowledge and repentance, and has appointed a Great Judgment Day.

God is – One God The Real and Only God Scripture: Deuteronomy 6: 4. The adjective of singularity is often, especially in the setting of idolatry, used to modify “God.” Comment on Genesis 1: 26. Show how God (Father, Rom. 1: 7, Son, Heb. 1: 8, and Holy Spirit, Acts 5: 3, 4) are one as men (humanity) are one (John 17: 20, 21).

The Real and Only God God is - Unique Scripture: Isaiah 43: 10, 11.

The Real and Only God God is - Eternal Scripture: Palms 90: 2.

God is – Self-existent The Real and Only God Scripture: Exodus 3: 14, cp. John 8: 58 (address “I am,” expressive of self-existent, see also John 8: 54-59).

God is - Love The Real and Only God Scripture: I John 4: 7, 8. God does not only love (John 3: 16), but he is love, his essential nature.

God is - Creator The Real and Only God Scripture: Genesis 1: 1. Comment on creation as seen in Genesis one.

God is - Spirit The Real and Only God Scripture: John 4: 24. The literal rendering is, “God is spirit.” This refers to God’s nature. (see I Corinthians 15: 50.)

The Real and Only God God is - Omniscient Scripture: Hebrews 4: 13.

God is - Omnipresent The Real and Only God Scripture: Palms 139: 7-10. God’s form is not everywhere (pantheism), but his presence is pervasive and everywhere.

God is - Omni visual The Real and Only God Scripture: Jeremiah 23: 23, 24. How silly it was for Adam and Eve to think that they could physically hide from God (Gen. 3: 8-10).

God is - Changeless The Real and Only God Scripture: Mal. 3: 6, Heb. 13, 8, cp. 6: 18.

The Real and Only God “23: For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you” (Acts 17). Ask the audience as to their views of God and if they are willing to come to the real and only God. Stress God’s plan of salvation, belief, repentance, confession of Jesus’ deity, and water baptism for the remission of sins (John 8: 24; Acts 17: 30, 31; Rom. 10: 9, 10; Acts 2: 38).
