What Unbelief Does

Acts 6: 11: Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God. 12: And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council, 13: And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law: 14: For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.

We have an example here of what unbelief does. It claims to love God and his law. Yet, it breaks every law of God in defense of the law.

God's law states that there must be two or three witnesses to condemn a man. So these folks found witnesses. The law states that blasphemy against God is punished by death. So they charged Stephen with blasphemy. But in attempting to defend the law, they broke them all by bearing false witness against Stephen.

That is exactly what happens when a person refuses to believe God's word--we bear false witness against God, his Christ, his messengers and his people--thus by attempting to defend the law as our means of wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption we break the whole law of God.

The only way for a vile sinner to uphold the whole law of God is by believing on Christ. (Mat 5:17,18; Rom 3: 31; 10: 4; I Cor 1: 30, 31.)
