Explain the attitude of the Bereans

To understand the attitude of the Bereans, we find in Acts 17 that they were very willing to receive the message (very important part of it) and examined the Scriptures every Day (yes, every day).  We are told that in 2 Tim 3 “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”  Why so we can live the same life style our Lord and Creator did.  If we did not know the scriptures, then how can we know (1) that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures and (2) that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.  We find in Luke 24 that Jesus will opened our minds so we could understand the Scriptures through the Holy Spirit.  I really do not want to hear the words from our Lord, “Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures.”  Are we not supposed to explain to others all the Scriptures concerning Jesus.  We know that the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth.

Act 17:11  These people were more receptive than those in Thessalonica. They were very willing to receive the message, and every day they carefully examined the Scriptures to see if those things were so.

(2 Tim 3:15-17 NIV)  and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. {16} All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, {17} so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

(1 Cor 15:3-4 NIV)  For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance : that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, {4} that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,

(Luke 24:45 NIV)  Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.

(Luke 24:27 NIV)  And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

(Mark 12:24 NIV)  Jesus replied, "Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

(John 16:13 NIV)  But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
