Search the scriptures - word of encouragement to study the bible.

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.
-- Acts 17 verse 11 (Kings James Bible)

Paul’s style of teaching always centered on

scriptures

to explain the gospel and resurrection

of Jesus Christ.

In this

instance

, Paul was

speaking to a very

distinguished group of people

with in-depth knowledge

of scripture. They

listened and absorbed his teaching

of Jesus Christ

with an open and willing mind to learn.

However,

instead of fighting and debating with him over

things that they were not sure of

or needed more

clarification on, they researched the scriptures

daily to

confirm for themselves the accuracy of

what they had

heard. They affirmed the teachings

of Paul as

documented in the history of truth.

Those that

embraced it, believed and followed

completely.

Daily search the scriptures to reinforce your

confidence,

faith and trust in the things of Jesus

Christ. He will

always confirm His Word.

May the Word of God strengthen your spirit today.
