Acts 17:26, 27

1
Acts 1726, 27

• And He has made from one blood every nation of
  men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and
  has determined their preappointed times and the
  boundaries of their dwellings, so that they
  should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might
  grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far
  from each one of us.

2
Jeremiah 1023

• LORD, I know the way of man is not in himself
  It is not in man who walks to direct his own
  steps.

3
Isaiah 558, 9

• For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are
  your ways My ways, says the LORD. For as the
  heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways
  higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your
  thoughts.

I Corinthians 210-12

• But God has revealed them to us through His
  Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes,
  the deep things of God. For what man knows the
  things of a man except the spirit of the man
  which is in him? Even so no one knows the things
  of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have
  received, not the spirit of the world, but the
  Spirit who is from God, that we might know the
  things that have been freely given to us by God.

John 419-24

• The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You
  are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this
  mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is
  the place where one ought to worship." Jesus said
  to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming
  when you will neither on this mountain, nor in
  Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship what
  you do not know we know what we worship, for
  salvation is of the Jews

6
John 419-24

• But the hour is coming, and now is, when the
  true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit
  and truth for the Father is seeking such to
  worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship
  Him must worship in spirit and truth."
