Honest in heart; Noble

Paul traveled throughout the Middle East, preaching the gospel. There's a terrific verse in Acts 17 that talks about a group of people that are called "noble". I would also say that they're honest in heart - willing to learn and discover if a new teaching is true. Here's what's said about them:

11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and ^asearched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

These were noble people because they were willing to search the scriptures and find out if what they heard was accurate. I am so impressed by their willingness to act when they heard an impressive message. Most of the people that I know haven't been willing to do that. Perhaps I could preach the message with more power, but the people also need to be willing to "search the scriptures" daily.

The natural result of their actions was the following:

12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.

It is important to do the actions necessary for believing. Every time those actions are followed, people will know the truth of the message.
