The people of Berea, while eagerly receiving the word, also examined the Scriptures daily. We too must think deeply about the fact that receiving the word and verifying it were present together. Easily accepting whatever is said does not make it faith, nor is endless doubting right discernment. If we have heard the word that Jesus had the sin of the world transferred to Him through the baptism He received from John, paid the price of that sin by shedding His blood on the Cross, rose again from death, and remitted sins, we must learn from the Scriptures how that salvation was accomplished. This scene in Berea teaches us both the heart that hears the word and the basis of faith.
