But the times of ignorance God overlooked, and now commands all men everywhere to repent; for He has appointed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man He has ordained; which He has given proof to all men in that He raised Him from the dead. Acts 17:30

These were the words of the Apostle Paul in the city of Athens before some philosophers of those times who thought that the purpose of human life is to find pleasure and as good philosophers who love wisdom, they asked Paul what this new teaching was.

To this audience Paul makes this statement: The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day in which He will judge the world… Acts 17:30

No matter how much knowledge we have about life and nature, if we do not know and accept God we become ignorant and foolish, even though this may seem like a pretty strong statement. 

The greatest enemy of humanity is not sin or Satan, but ignorance.

The problem of sin was solved long before man sinned. In fact, God had already made plans for sin before man sinned; Satan was also defeated the day Christ died on the cross. 

From God's point of view, there is no difference between human beings, whether Jews or Gentiles, and whether they are people with secular education or not. The Bible says that all have sinned and are destitute of the glory of God. 

God loves us unconditionally and wants us to experience His peace by accepting Jesus as our personal Savior. There is no more wonderful experience than having peace with God. He loves you and wants you to experience His peace. The Bible says: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16.
