Scripture Post #1,149: *UNPROVEN COMPLAINTS*
Acts 25:7:
"And when he was come, the Jews which came down from Jerusalem stood round about, and laid many and grievous complaints against Paul, which they could not prove."

The Apostle Paul's response to the many *UNPROVEN COMPLAINTS* made by the Jews that were against him at the trial for his death: Acts 25:11: "For if I be an offender, or have committed any thing worthy of death, I refuse not to die: but if there be none of these things whereof these accuse me, no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto Caesar." Paul wanted to die, if he did anything worthy of death. The issue was that Paul didn't do anything wrong. And because Paul's hands were clean, his adversaries had no proof to charge him with. This is how it should be with us. We should be blameless, as Paul was at his trial. Our past sins can't be changed, only forgiven. But now, and in the future, we have the power whether to sin or not. We can be blameless in CHRIST.
"That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;" ~Philippians 2:15.
