Why did Paul preach to the Athenians?

Paul's mission in Athens was driven by a profound love and concern for the souls lost in idolatry. His spirit was stirred when he observed the city filled with idols, prompting him to share the gospel with both Jews and Gentiles. The urgency of the situation was evident as Paul sought to reveal the true God to a people spiritually blinded by their many false gods. Paul understood that amidst the groves of pagan worship were God's chosen people, the 'lost sheep' who needed to hear the message of redemption in Christ. This message was a call to worship the only Savior and signifies the importance of evangelism in the Christian faith.
