"Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the divine nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art or though of man.  Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all everywhere should repent, because He has a fixed day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead.  Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some began to sneer, but others said, 'We shall hear you again concerning this.'  So Paul went out of their midst.  But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius and others with them."

Paul is trying to convince the Athenians of their possible relationship with God.  He tells them here, they are all equal in getting to know God.  An artist does not have a better view of God.  A sinner does not have a worse view of God.  And intelligence is not the ultimate way to find Him.

Paul does say that God has a command for all men:  repent.

God is now declaring that all men everywhere repent.

God has chosen us.  All of us.

What has God chosen us for?  Repentance...  All of us.

He will judge THE WORLD, not merely a section of it.

How will you deal with your equality?
