Paul addresses the Athenians and provides reasons to serve Jesus Christ, including that Christianity answers fundamental questions about humanity's origins; the Christian God is powerful and not dependent on people; all people are equal in God's eyes; God controls the nations and loves all people; humanity needs God; God demands repentance from all and will judge the world with justice; and Jesus conquered death by resurrection. Some in the audience, including Dionysius and Damaris, decided to believe Paul's message.
