“And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth.” (Acts 17:11 NLT)

When the apostle Paul spoke to the people of Berea they did two important things, first, they were very willing to receive God’s message, and second, they carefully examined the scriptures to make sure what Paul said was true!

They were “more noble-minded”

The passage said they were more noble-minded because they did this!

The word “noble” means righteous, virtuous, good, honorable, upright, decent, worthy, moral, ethical, and reputable.

And it had a positive affect!

According to the following verse, many became believers! “As a result, many Jews believed, as did many of the prominent Greek women and men.” (Acts 17:12 NLT)

Want to be noble-minded?

Then receive God’s message willingly and then check the scriptures to make sure what is being said is true! It will change your life!
