The Known God

Acts 17:7 : 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 I declare unto you.

Why devote yourself to someone you don't know? It's purely religious, not personal. It's doing something for the sake of doing it. God didn't create us for the sake of creating us, although it was in His sovereign right to do so. He created us to have a relationship with Him. An honest relationship. Even after Jesus died for us, He did it knowing we would still sin. The cross saved us from sin, it didn't stop us from sinning, and God knew that, and did it anyway. It is a privilege to know God. Not a right. A privilege.
