Context of Acts 24:15
13neither can they make good the things of which they now accuse me. 14But this I avow to thee, that in the way which they call sect, so I serve my fathers' God, believing all things which are written throughout the law, and in the prophets; having hope towards God, which they themselves also receive, that there is to be a resurrection both of just and unjust. 16For this cause I also exercise [myself] to have in everything a conscience without offence towards God and men. 17And after a lapse of many years I arrived, bringing alms to my nation, and offerings.

Commentaries on Acts 24:15
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15And have hope toward God, etc. - I not only do not hold any thing by which the general creed of this people might be altered, in reference to the present state; but, also, I hold nothing different from their belief in reference to a future state; for, if I maintain the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, it is what themselves allow.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 15And have hope toward God - Having a hope of the resurrection of the dead, which arises from the promises of God. Which they themselves - That is, the Pharisees.

Let us never be driven from any good way by its having an ill name. It is very comfortable, in worshipping God, to look to him as the God of our fathers, and to set up no other rule of faith or practice but the Scriptures.

Paul kept this coming meeting with God in mind at all times (24:16). Felix became afraid when Paul spoke about “the coming judgment” in a later conversation (24:25).Read the comment

But this I confess to thee--in which Felix would see no crime. that after the way they call heresy--literally, and better, "a sect." so worship I the God of my fathers--the ancestral God. Two arguments are contained here: (1) Our nation is divided into what they call sects--the sect of the Pharisees, and that of the Sadducees--all the difference between them and me is, that I belong to neither of these, but to another sect, or religious section of…Read the comment
