S. Acts 25:11 (NIV) “If, however, I am guiilty of doing anything deserving death, I do not refuse to die.”
O. Paul demonstrates integrity and what I might call “extreme faith” against all odds. Here he is willing to accept the rule of law - the legal consequences (death) for the defense of his faith.
A. I would hope that in a critical moment I coud also demonstrate such integrity. It is one thing to take a stand in defense of our beliefs (faith) and another to rise to the level of accepting the legal consequences (in this case death).
P. Thank you Father for your word. Thank you for Paul’s example of integrity and faith. Holy Spirit fill me and guide me to have such a deep, and strong faith - an Extreme Faith that stands against all odds in trusting you. In Jesus’ name.
