Acts 17:24‑25 • 1 min. read • grade level: 5

ACT 17:24-25²⁴God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; ²⁵Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; (Acts 17:24‑25)

God . . . dwelleth not in temples made with hands; neither is worshipped with men’s hands.

Acts 17:24, 25²⁴God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; ²⁵Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; (Acts 17:24‑25)

No, God is worshipped in our hearts. Man has built architecturally beautiful monuments “for the Lord’s glory.” But He’s not worshipped with men’s hands. He looks inside people’s hearts to see what’s there. Every seat in every church building may be filled every Sunday with “worshippers” who go there to be entertained, but much of their worship never reaches heaven. It says in John’s gospel that we must worship God “in spirit and in truth.” Worship Him from your heart today.
