They received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so.
Acts 17:11
Recommended Reading:
Acts 17:10-1510 Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men. 13 But when the Jews from Thessalonica learned that the word of God was preached by Paul at Berea, they came there also and stirred up the crowds. 14 Then immediately the brethren sent Paul away, to go to the sea; but both Silas and Timothy remained there. 15 So those who conducted Paul brought him to Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him with all speed, they departed.
Acts 17:10-15
Every year the American Bible Society releases its State of the Bible report. The most recent study finds that overall Bible use in the U.S. has increased for the first time since 2021, rising from 38 percent to 41 percent of adults reading the Bible outside church at least three times a year—about 10 million more adults in 2025 than in 2024. Digital formats are very popular (about two-thirds of users), especially apps and websites. The U.S. stands out in comparison to other secular, Western nations for how many find the Bible personally relevant.1
But three times a year! While we praise God for the renewed interest we’re seeing in Bible reading, let’s aim for 365 days a year—daily Bible reading and study. To grow as a Christian, be diligent in your study of the Word so you can daily spread the knowledge of God to others. Search the Scriptures daily, starting today!
Read it through, write it down, pray it in, work it out, pass it on.
