Verse 27
God’s purpose in regulating times and boundaries was that people would realize His sovereignty and seek Him (cf. Romans 1; John 6:44; John 12:32). God, Paul said, is not far from human contact. This again harmonized with some Greek philosophy, but it contradicted the teachings of other philosophers.
"It is implied in Acts xvii that the pagan world had made little progress in searching for its Creator. In Romans it is more vigorously stated that, for all God’s visible presence in His creation, the world at large had failed to find Him." [Note: Blaiklock, p. 142.]
