Understanding Noble Character in Berean Jews

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Friday, 7/18/25

“Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” Acts 17:11 (emphasis mine)

What does noble character mean?

virtuous, good, honorable, honest, upright, upstanding, decent, worthy,  uncorrupted, moral, ethical, reputable

A person of noble character will examine the Scriptures to find truth. They do not examine the Scriptures to prove their own opinion. Big difference.

Quote of the Week, 4/23/25

Cindy Dawson

There’s something awe-inspiring about truly studying the Scriptures. The more time we spend in the Word, the more we begin to see the connections—passages that echo across generations, prophecies fulfilled in ways no human author could have orchestrated, themes that thread their way from Genesis to Revelation with breathtaking cohesion. It’s hard to miss the divine fingerprint behind it all.”
Bruce Cooper, Reasoned Cases for Christ, When God Speaks… and When He’s Quiet

“As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue.  Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true.” Acts 17:10-11 NIV (emphasis mine)

Lord, Teach us to be like the Bereans, examining the Scriptures to see if the things we read and hear are true. Amen
