Spurgeon says - "When man disobeyed his God he died spiritually and that death consisted in the separation of his soul from God. From that moment man began to think that God was far away and this has since been his religion in all ages. Either he has said, "There is no God," or he has believed the visible creation to be God, which is much the same as having no God. Or else he has thought God to be some far-away, mysterious Being who takes no notice of man." Thankfully, as it says in verse 27, "God is not far from each of us"!
Join me in reading Acts 17 and be encouraged at God being close to us!
