PAGAN

The Idol Worshipper.

A pagan is one who worships many gods, or one of many, other than the true God. In Bible times this would include all the nations of the world except Israel, who worshipped the One and Only God, Yahweh. God instructed Israel: "You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself an idol…." (Exodus 20:3-4).

This was still true in Paul's day. When he visited Athens, the centre of Greek culture, he was "greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols". He addressed the people of Athens with these words:

"Men of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked round and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you." (Acts 17:16,22-23).
