I don’t have to “hope” since it is God’s Word that I quote, not my own. Bereans searched the Scriptures daily, to “see if those things are so”. And 2 Tim. 2:15 is our friend. I have bet my eternity on the grace of God and the blood of Christ for my justification and salvation. I am reconciled to God by Christ and am sealed unto the day of redemption. Those aren’t HOPES, those are TRUTHS.
I see a common misconception about "The Bereans" often. The Jews living in Berea are simply contrasted with those in Thessaloniki, and were more noble than those in Thessaloniki, who behaved terribly, because 1) they received Paul's apostolic word with readiness of mind, and 2) searched the scriptures daily to confirm that word to themselves. Therefore many of them were able to come to faith in Jesus as Messiah. They in no way had authority to rule on whether what Paul taught about the Messiah was true or not. It was all true because Paul had that authority, not the Bereans.
