Acts 7:35-53 Review Stephen responds to their charges and charges them with their own unfaithfulness. Your fathers demonstrated regular obstinance against God. (vv. 35-50) They forsook the authority of “the law” of God (vv. 39-43). They forgot the reality of “this place” (vv. 44-50). You are no different than your fathers by being against Jesus Christ. (vv. 51-53)
