Acts 24:20-22 ESV
Or else let these men themselves say what wrongdoing they found when I stood before the council, other than this one thing that I cried out while standing among them: ‘It is with respect to the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you this day.’”
Paul Kept in Custody
But Felix, having a rather accurate knowledge of the Way, put them off, saying, “When Lysias the tribune comes down, I will decide your case.”
God has revealed the way to eternal life. It is the resurrection of the dead made possible by the resurrection of Jesus. All flesh will wither and die, but Christ provides the way beyond death and to eternal life. Those who choose this way will put on a new flesh untainted by death and destruction. We who are in the body of Christ will receive a new body like His.
Being familiar or having knowledge of the way will provide no benefit, unless one takes the way for their own.
