We can be tied up in our own opinions and traditions, or we can trust the Scriptures.
The Source of Paul’s Preaching
He preached the Bible.
He carefully uncovered the truth and gave it to these people, showing them that Jesus Christ was the Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament, yet they would not hear.
They didn’t like its piercing power and they rebelled against it.
The Response of the Bereans
They willingly received
They were open and longing to learn more about the Scriptures.
They recognized that Paul was not preaching opinion.
They wisely researched
They took the messages and began to look into the Bible to see if these things were so.
We could learn from their example.
Too often we take others’ word for what the Bible says when we could be Bereans and search out the truth ourselves.
The truth is that the word “study” does not always mean such.
It means to put forth effort.
To endeavor.
Study is appropriate in this context only because of the phrase, rightly dividing the Word of Truth!
Rightly dividing is “to cut straight”!
