So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man

Acts 24:1-16

When Paul was called in, Tertullus presented his case before Felix: We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect and even tried to desecrate the temple; so we seized him. By examining him yourself you will be able to learn the truth about all these charges we are bringing against him.”

When the governor motioned for him to speak, Paul replied: “I know that for a number of years you have been a judge over this nation; so I gladly make my defense. You can easily verify that no more than twelve days ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship. My accusers did not find me arguing with anyone at the temple, or stirring up a crowd in the synagogues or anywhere else in the city. And they cannot prove to you the charges they are now making against me. However, I admit that I worship the God of our ancestors as a follower of the Way, which they call a sect. I believe everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets, and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have, that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked. So I strive always to keep my conscience clear before God and man.

Why?

Paul did not make any trouble in Jerusalem, or stir up a crowd in the synagogues in the city. Paul committed that he worshiped the God of their ancestors as a follower of the Way, but Tertullus could not prove Paul was a troublemaker. They called Paul's worship a sect. Because they worship in different ways.

Jews worship the Lord in Laws and regulations, and Paul worships the Lord in Love, Spirit, and Honesty.

Jesus is the Love, so we should worship the Lord with truth, love, and heart.

Regulation and Laws make man die, but love makes man live.

How?

Jesus is my savior, trust in Him in everything I am doing, serving and devoting myself to the Lord, God is my shepherd.
