God wants us to search his Word to find Him!

In Acts 17:10-11 we read: 10 Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. NKJV

Berea was a smaller city, the people who lived there were called Bereans.

They didn’t have a Bible like a book, like we have today, they had parchments and scrolls.

The Bereans were ready to receive God’s Word, but they also searched the Scriptures to see for themselves if Paul was teaching the truth.

So, what happened when the Bereans searched God’s Word for the truth: Acts 17:12 - 12 Many of them therefore believed, with not a few Greek women of high standing as well as men.

They put their faith in Jesus!

Jeremiah 29:12-14 says about searching for God: 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, says the Lord, NKJV

Jesus said in John 5:39 - You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,

Spend time listening, searching, studying and learning God’s Word! (LSSL)

The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived they went into the Jewish synagogue. Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. Many of them therefore believed, with not a few Greek women of high standing as well as men. Acts 17:10-12 ESV
