You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me,

“ You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are they which testify about me.

Jesus explained to them what was said about himself in all the Scriptures. He began with Moses and all the Prophets.

Jesus said to them,“ This is what I told you while I was still with you. Everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms must come true.”

We also have the message of the prophets. This message can be trusted completely. You must pay attention to it. The message is like a light shining in a dark place. It will shine until the day Jesus comes. Then the Morning Star will rise in your hearts.Above all, here is what you must understand. No prophecy in Scripture ever came from a prophet’s own understanding of things.Prophecy never came simply because a prophet wanted it to. Instead, the Holy Spirit guided the prophets as they spoke. So, although prophets are human, prophecy comes from God.

Look in the book of the Lord. Here is what you will read there. None of those animals will be missing. Male and female alike will be there. The Lord himself has commanded it. And his Spirit will gather them together.

The Berean Jews were very glad to receive Paul’s message. They studied the Scriptures carefully every day. They wanted to see if what Paul said was true. So they were more noble than the Thessalonian Jews.

But I want you to continue to follow what you have learned and are sure about. You know the people you learned it from.You have known the Holy Scriptures ever since you were a little child. They are able to teach you how to be saved by believing in Christ Jesus.God has breathed life into all Scripture. It is useful for teaching us what is true. It is useful for correcting our mistakes. It is useful for making our lives whole again. It is useful for training us to do what is right.By using Scripture, the servant of God can be completely prepared to do every good thing.

The prophets searched very hard and with great care to find out about this salvation. They spoke about the grace that was going to come to you.They wanted to find out when and how this salvation would come. The Spirit of Christ in them was telling them about the sufferings of the Messiah. These were his sufferings that were going to come. The Spirit of Christ was also telling them about the glory that would follow.

But God has helped me to this day. So I stand here and tell you what is true. I tell it to everyone, both small and great. I have been saying nothing different from what the prophets and Moses said would happen.They said the Messiah would suffer. He would be the first to rise from the dead. He would bring the message of God’s light. He would bring it to his own people and to the Gentiles.”

The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus. By finding him guilty, they made the prophets’ words come true. These are read every Sabbath day.

He promised the good news long ago. He announced it through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures.

Lord, I really love your law! All day long I spend time thinking about it.Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, because your commands are always in my heart.I know more than all my teachers do, because I spend time thinking about your covenant laws.

Listen to my teaching and be wise. Don’t turn away from it.Blessed are those who listen to me. They watch every day at my doors. They wait beside my doorway.

There is great value in every way! First of all, the Jews have been given the very words of God.

Those who think they are wise will be put to shame. They will become terrified. They will be trapped. They have not accepted my message. So what kind of wisdom do they have?

Here is the part of Scripture the official was reading. It says,“ He was led like a sheep to be killed. Just as lambs are silent while their wool is being cut off, he did not open his mouth.When he was treated badly, he was refused a fair trial. Who can say anything about his children? His life was cut off from the earth.”( Isaiah 53:7, 8)The official said to Philip,“ Tell me, please. Who is the prophet talking about? Himself, or someone else?”Then Philip began with that same part of Scripture. He told him the good news about Jesus.

You always show me the path of life. You will fill me with joy when I am with you. You will make me happy forever at your right hand.

Do you believe Moses? Then you should believe me. He wrote about me.

The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me. He will be one of your own people. You must listen to him.

I will raise up for them a prophet like you. He will be one of their own people. I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him to say.

Haven’t you read what this part of Scripture says,“‘ The stone the builders didn’t accept has become the most important stone of all.

Jesus replied,“ You are mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures. And you do not know the power of God.

Your father’s command is like a lamp. Your mother’s teaching is like a light. And whatever instructs and corrects you leads to life.

You have the fountain of life. We are filled with light because you give us light.

They replied,“ Are you from Galilee too? Look into it. You will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.”

“ Abraham replied,‘ They have the teachings of Moses and the Prophets. Let your brothers listen to them.’

Philip found Nathanael and told him,“ We have found the one whom Moses wrote about in the Law. The prophets also wrote about him. He is Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”

They aren’t just useless words for you. They are your very life. If you obey them, you will live in the land for a long time. It’s the land you are going across the Jordan River to take as your own.”

I have hidden your word in my heart so that I won’t sin against you.

There is someone else who is a witness in my favor. And I know that what he says about me is true.

When I heard this, I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me,“ Don’t do that! I serve God, just as you do. I am God’s servant, just like believers who hold firmly to what Jesus has taught. Worship God! The Spirit of prophecy tells the truth about Jesus.”

King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.”

So keep my words in your hearts and minds. Write them down and tie them on your hands as a reminder. Also tie them on your foreheads.Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home. Talk about them when you walk along the road. Speak about them when you go to bed. And speak about them when you get up.Write them on the doorframes of your houses. Also write them on your gates.

Never stop reading this Book of the Law. Day and night you must think about what it says. Make sure you do everything written in it. Then things will go well with you. And you will have great success.

“ Abraham said to him,‘ They do not listen to Moses and the Prophets. So they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”

One day an authority on the law stood up to test Jesus.“ Teacher,” he asked,“ what must I do to receive eternal life?”“ What is written in the Law?” Jesus replied.“ How do you understand it?”He answered,“‘ Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Love him with all your strength and with all your mind.’( Deuteronomy 6:5) And,‘ Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ ”( Leviticus 19:18)“ You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied.“ Do that, and you will live.”But the man wanted to make himself look good. So he asked Jesus,“ And who is my neighbor?”

Let the message about Christ live among you like a rich treasure. Teach and correct one another wisely. Teach one another by singing psalms and hymns and songs from the Spirit. Sing to God with thanks in your hearts.

He asked you for life, and you gave it to him. You promised him days that would never end.

Instead, the law of the Lord gives them joy. They think about his law day and night.

Follow what the Lord taught you and said to you through me. People who don’t speak in keeping with these words will have no hope in the morning.

“ What I say about myself is more important than what John says about me. I am doing the works the Father gave me to finish. These works are a witness that the Father has sent me.

Just then, a man came up to Jesus. He asked,“ Teacher, what good thing must I do to receive eternal life?”“ Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied.“ There is only one who is good. If you want to enter the kingdom, obey the commandments.”“ Which ones?” the man asked. Jesus said,“‘ Do not murder. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not be a false witness.Honor your father and mother.’( Exodus 20:12–16; Deuteronomy 5:16–20) And‘ love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ ”( Leviticus 19:18)“ I have obeyed all those commandments,” the young man said.“ What else do I need to do?”

It’s as if the dew of Mount Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. There the Lord gives his blessing. He gives life that never ends.

Many people who lie dead in their graves will wake up. Some will rise up to life that will never end. Others will rise up to shame that will never end.

Suppose you call yourself a Jew. You trust in the law. You brag that you know God.You know what God wants. You agree with what is best because the law teaches you.

When he sits on the throne of his kingdom, he must make for himself a copy of the law. He must write on a scroll the law that I am teaching you. He must copy it from the scroll of a priest, who is a Levite.The king must keep the scroll close to him at all times. He must read it all the days of his life. Then he can learn to have respect for the Lord his God. He can carefully obey all the words of this law and these rules.

Instead, they longed for a better country. They wanted a heavenly one. So God is pleased when they call him their God. In fact, he has prepared a city for them.

Women received back their dead. The dead were raised to life again. There were others who were made to suffer greatly. But they refused to be set free. They did this so that after death they would be raised to an even better life.
