• Opposed to God, the heads of Israel were merely men. In saying this, all was decided: the opposition between them and God was evident. (“Acts 5” by J.N. Darby)
• Obedience must be to God rather than men. This is the great practical principle of faith, as it was the uniform characteristic of Christ in all perfection here below. “Lo, I come to do thy will, O God:” not miracles, not doing good, not teaching, not zeal, so much as unqualified and unfailing obedience rendered to God. (“Acts 5:21-32” by W. Kelly)
• Hence, though he may have sometimes to wait on God for light, obedience is the invariable place and duty of the believer. It is never a question of his rights; he is called to obey. (“Acts 5:21-32” by W. Kelly)
• If collision come between God's word and the ruler's requirement, his path is clear: God must be obeyed, but in suffering perhaps, not resistance to authority. He is always to obey, though in some cases it may be God rather than men. (“Acts 5:21-32” by W. Kelly)
• Obedience gives distrust in self and meekness in doing God's will. (“Acts 5:21-32” by W. Kelly)
