The Lord has through redemptive history in Scripture moved that one biblical religion and church forward from types, shadows, and promises in the Old Testament to the fulfillment, substance, and realization in Jesus Christ in the New Testament. God has made outward changes to the one true biblical religion and church moving from animal sacrifices, sacraments like Circumcision and the Passover, and holy days like Pentecost in the Old Testament to the one perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ, sacraments like Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, and one holy day, the Lord’s Day, in the New Testament. Paul understood Jesus not as beginning a new religion, but as being the head of the one true religion and church of which Abraham, Moses, and David were all members (as was Paul himself and as are all of us).
Paul had been charged by Tertullus with four accusations before Felix, the Roman governor. From our text today, Paul responds to the four false accusations brought against him: (1) He Was Not Pestilent in Spreading Trouble (Acts 24:10-11); (2) He Was Not Seditious in Forming a Mob (Acts 24:12-13); (3) He Was Not Sectarian in Bringing Division (Acts 24:14-16); (4) He Was Not Sacrilegious in Profaning the Temple (Acts 24:17-21).
