Acts 22:3 I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city. I studied under Gamaliel and was thoroughly trained in the law of our ancestors. I was just as zealous for God as any of you are today.
Paul stood up and told the people around him a plain truth – he had learned the Jewish law and ways, even studied them, and kept them!
Yet what did it count as? Nothing!
Sometimes we build up the law and extend the rules just so we can look better than others.
Don’t forget. God made the original law. Don’t even think about comparing yourself to Him!
