Fix it, Felix

Acts 24

Three incorrect responses to the Gospel

Paul when he was in Jerusalem was accused of Three main things by the Jewish leaders.  1) Stirring up riots around the world, 2) being the ring leader of the Nazarenes, and 3) He tried to profame the temple.  

None of these accusations were true.   

Felix after putting Paul in jail would have frequent conversations with Paul and was aware of the "The Way" or Christian Movement.  He would ask question about Christ and Christianity, but was mainly waiting for money (bribe) from Paul to get out of Jail. 

Three ways Felix and other people miss the point on following the Gospel.

 1) Information - you may know about Jesus and Christianity, but this is meaningless unless you Believe and  change your ways and strive for righteousness, self control and fear the judgement of God.

 2) procastination - Knowing what you need to do and follow the Lord, do not procrastinate against believeing and following the Lord.  You are not guaranteed of being here tomorrow.

 3) Pretending - Pretending to be a Christian and doing all the right things, but not believing in Jesus, God and the holy spirit will not get you to heaven.
