Biblical Bereans
The Bible
says, “And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into
the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness
of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable
women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.” Acts 17:10-12 (KJV)
Would you
consider yourself a “Good Berean”? would other around you come to the same conclusion? Paul encourage Timothy
and all Believers to: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy
2:15 (KJV) Peter likewise said in 2 Peter 3:18a (KJV) “But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ…”
John R. W. Stott said: “Remember the wise words of Richard
Baxter to the people of Kidderminster: ‘Where you but as willing to get the knowledge of God and heavenly things as
you are to know how to work in your trade, you would have set yourself to it before this day, and you would have spared no
cost or pains till you had got it. But you account seven years little enough to learn your trade and will not bestow one day
in seven in diligent, learning the matters of your salvation.’”
Please
don’t miss how often the Bereans “searched the scriptures” for they did so on a daily basis.
