First, its an anxious attention toward soul.

Upon arriving in Athens under the guidance of the gentle Berroians, Paul eagerly waits for them, ordering Silas and Timothy, who had been left in Berroa for a while, to quickly come to Athens. When he arrived in Athens, he needed a partner. More important than that, he thought it was a great opportunity to raise my beloved Scilla and Timothy as a full ministry by showing them how to raise the people of this place. Paul saw his fellow workers as a precious soul, not a tool. he knew that saving a soul was the best purpose, so he was able to worry, discern, and wait for that soul with constant longing. While waiting for them, Paul would investigate Athens and prepare for the ministry. Athens, or Athens, was home to philosophy and art, where philosophers, artists, and scholars represented ancient times worked, democracy began here, and mythology and literature flourished. So the pride of the Athens people was great. But Paul saw that the fruit of pride of being a first-class dignity was an idol full of the whole city. So Paul was enraged by his heart. So Paul was enraged by his heart. Paul was outraged by the holy wrath of God, who was so grievingly angry at them who were bound to be destroyed by sin. Paul lectured everyone he met in the synagogue on weekends and in the market every day during the week. But the cultured Athens people couldnt hear the words. The wrath of the Holy Spirit is that the disciples wait with love, and the souls of Athens actively preach the gospel with mournful attention. But the cultured Athens people couldnt hear the words. The wrath of the Holy Spirit means waiting disciples with love, at the same time actively preaching the gospel with mournful attention to the souls of Athens.

Second, we must be enraged before the spirit of the world.

As move to the scene of life to preach the gospel, the spirit of the world of the time, Epicurus and Stoic philosophy of the time, greet Paul. When Paul delivered 'Jesus and Resurrection,' the two competing sides became one and argued with Paul. As ever and now, the purpose of both thought and religion is happiness. The Epicurus and Stoic schools are also aimed at happiness, but the path to happiness is different. The Epicurus School of Pleasure teaches us that if we die, there is nothing, and we hate pain, so lets be happy when we are alive. In comparison, the Stoics are rationalists, sometimes called asceticism and piety. This idea developed and became a territorialism that denies Confucianism, and taught that suicide with a cool rational judgment was justifiedAfter all, the life pursued by humans is a combination of the Epicurus School, which pursues complacency, and the Stoic School, which pursues best of the bunch with rational thought. Like this, humans live with humanistic effort to pursue happiness. But Paul goes to the scene of life with the gospel, not reason and pleasure, and is outraged by the spirit of the times. It is the wrath of the Holy Spirit that we must be enraged before the spirit of this era, establish faith and teach our children. To Paul, who is outraged by the Holy Spirit, they say 'horsemen' (v.18). Horseman is a disparaging expression of street philosophers who pick up fragmentary knowledge and make it into plausible words. Even when he is humiliated and ridiculed, Paul does not stop his mission to preach the gospel. Because I knew for sure that 'the knowledge of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord is the most noble' (Bill 3:8). The cultured Athens say, 'I want to know what it means,' and lead Paul to Areobago. Areo is a war, Bargo is a hill, and this is the best court with the right to decide on religion and culture. Paul was captured by the spirit of this age as a hill of war. Until now, we must be held to the battlefield of the spirit of this era, which no one understands and ridicules. Avoiding war and seeking peace in this land is not the gospel. Only through war, the solid values of pursuing my happiness are broken. Looking at the Bible in one hand and the newspaper in the other, we have to fight with rage in front of the great and powerful spirit of the age. Athens scholars ,who are smart and own many things, put value on new things, clinging to the philosophy they heard, boring the philosophy they heard yesterday,. The Lord said that the characteristics of this world are evil and obscene. The hedonism and asceticism of the spirit of this era are only different ways, but they are the paths of destruction and death that rationalize the evil of this world. However, Pauls new teaching is that the purpose of life is not happiness but holiness. Its a teaching that goes against the evil and obscene nature of human beings.

Third, you should be outraged to see that there is a lot of religious spirit in everything.

Here, religion (v.22) refers to superstition and means fear of ghosts. In fact, there is a great fear of ghosts hidden in the intellectual curiosity of finding the most new things. They already serve many gods, but whenever a new god appears, they make and serve new statues and altars. I even made an altar for God, who was afraid of missing a god. Knowing is power, so I constantly wander in search of new knowledge. But for a degenerate human being, knowledge elevates the mind. As it rises, Im afraid itll fall, and Im going to rise like God. This heart is arrogance. Paul saw exactly this fear hidden in the intelligence of the great Athens people. Paul grieved to see them who wont be saved because they had the religious spirit about everything and he was enraged by love. Pauls teachings say that saints are those who are built for suffering. And Paul consistently taught about future hardship. We, who take the cross as a path, are at peace because we are interpreted as the Word of God.
