READ: 2 Kings 23:1-25
…and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.
2 Kings 23:2
Josiah, the king of Israel had to search the scriptures for himself. He was amazed at what he found. He made covenants to walk after God and to keep His commandments. What a transformation that came over the life of the king when he decided to search the scriptures for himself! Josiah went deeper by reading and searching through the book of the law himself.
You must go deeper in knowledge by seeking and searching for knowledge like the Bereans. The Bereans were described as noble or high in rank because they sought for knowledge. Today, many Christians do not spend time studying and researching like the Bereans. It is important to search and find out things for yourself. God will raise your rank when you search the scriptures yourself.
And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, AND SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO.
Acts 17:10-11
Books are an obvious source of knowledge. Many people who gain expertise in a particular field put it in writing. These books can be a source of finding solutions to anything. It is important to read all you can about the topic you are interested in, whether in the form of books, articles or magazines, in order to gain in-depth knowledge.
And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
2 Peter 1:5
