I was reading Acts 17 today and came across this verse:
Acts 17:12b (NLT)
…they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.
The Bereans were receiving the Good News about Jesus, but they were intent to discover the truth on the matter. How much more do we in this day and age of so much information need to search for the truth in a matter? There are so many people claiming to have truth, but are we diligently searching the Bible to discover if what they are saying is actual truth?
This can apply from anything from Sunday’s sermon, some famous life guru telling you how to live, a friend’s advice, or a prophetic word given.
Search The Word for yourself today and make sure you are holding steadfastly to the Way, the Truth and the Life!
