And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken? Deuteronomy 18:21.

God told His people how they could know if the messenger was sharing God's Word. They were to see if what He said came true or not. If it didn't come true, then God wasn't speaking.

The Bible has proven itself to be accurate time after time. We know we have the Word of God.

Now, if you question today whether or not you are hearing the word of God, then you should check out the Bible. God gave you His Word. He inspired it. He proved it. He preserved it. You use the Bible to test every preacher standing before you!

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 17:11.

When Paul and Silas arrived in Berea, they went to the synagogue of the Jews in that city. There, they found a group of people that delighted them. They were different than the people in most synagogues. They were fair. They were noble. They listened to what Paul and Silas taught and checked it out in the Scriptures. 



They were willing to listen as long as they could search the Scriptures and see if what they were hearing was in the Bible. They would allow Paul to speak but just wanted to be sure that what he said was in the Bible.

Isn't that how we should be? Many of us go to church every service. We decide if we like what is being said but do not check it out in the Scriptures. How many of us are reading our Bibles daily? How many of us are studying the Bible so that we will know if what we hear fits the Word of God?

Be a noble, fair-minded Christian. Listen, but check out everything you hear to see if it is in the Scriptures!
