Likewise, Isaiah 43:9-12 shows how an understanding of God's prophecies about the future makes us know "that I am he" (Is.43:13) - i.e. that God's Name 'I am that I am' is perfectly true (Ex.3:14).

As usual, he preached the gospel ('good news') of God; but instead of the people just accepting Paul's word for it, "they received the word (of God, not Paul) with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

Mtume Paulo alifika kwenye mji unaoitwa Beroya, eneo hili kwa sasa liko kaskazini mwa Uyunani (Ugiriki) kama kawaida, akahubiri injili (Habari njema) ya Mungu; lakini badala ya watu kusikia neno la Paulo alilokuwa anasema, tunasoma kwamba, " Walilipokea kwa kusikia neno (la Mungu, sio la Paulo) kwa uelekevu wa moyo, wakayachunguza maandiko kila siku, waone kwamba mambo hayo ndivyo yalivyo.
