Paul is making his defense before Felix. And in the verse Paul declares that he believes all that is written in the Law and the Prophets. The Word of God has to be our final authority. We can let a lot of things guide us and rule us. But when those things become contrary to the Word of God, we must side with the Word. The Word of God has to be the final authority on everything in our lives.
2Tim.3:16-17 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
It is the Word of God that will equip and complete us. The Word brings us doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction. We have to have the Word of God in our lives.
2Peter 1:20-21 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.
This is why we are to study the Word of God. It is God’s Word to us. It is still relevant for today, no matter what society says.
2Tim. 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
And know this that the Word of he Lord will endure forever!!!
1Peter 1:25 But the word of the LORD endures forever.
