Acts 23:1-11
The night the Lord stood near Paul and said. "Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome."
I have fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience to this day.
I stand on trial because of my hope in the resurrection of the dead.
Jesus stood silent before his accusers, but Paul is vocal. He does not hesitate to play one party against another in the Council, by stating that he is on trial for his belief in the resurrection of the dead.
Some of the teachers of the law who were Pharisees stood up and argued vigorously. "We find nothing wrong with this man."
Again the Roman troops remove him to the safety of the fortå ¡.
Paul is given a word of encouragement: he will be Christ's witness in Rome.
Why?
Paul is explained what he was doing and fulfilled his duty to God in all good conscience to this day. How great a servant of the Lord!
The enemies against the Lord didn't trust what Paul spoke. They protected the law of Jews but against the law of God.
Yes, it is my hope is in the resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ. He is the Lord!
Some teachers of the law found Paul is innocent, but most were violent and blind in truth.
How?
Have I fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience to this day? No! God, please forgive me, but I like to do so.
