A Blameless Conscience

The Apostle Paul said,

“In view of this, I also do my best to maintain always a blameless conscience both before God and before man.”

Acts 24:16

The Apostle Paul started out persecuting Christians.  He was Saul, who guarded the robes of the men who stoned Stephen (Acts 7:58). Then Saul became Paul when he became a Christian after meeting the risen Christ (Acts 9).  The Apostle Paul left behind his old life and became an itinerant preacher who carried the Gospel to regions throughout the Mid-East and to Rome.  In all his boldness, Paul never forgot that except for the grace of God, he was no better than any other man, and that the best he could do for God was his best.

And, that is why Paul said, “… I also do my best to maintain always a blameless conscience both before God and before man.”
