Plausible Arguments

Scripture Reading: Colossians 2:4

“I say this in order that no one may delude you with persuasive arguments…”

To learn of Christ and all the Truth that is encompassed in Him and His gospel is the highest duty and necessary responsibility of every person who is called a Christian. Today, more than ever in human history, we are bombarded with ideas, philosophies, and ideologies. If we are not putting down deep roots into the Truth, we will be deluded and deceived.

Paul gives the Gnostics of his day their due. He calls their arguments “persuasive,” or “plausible.” A lie puts on a nice jacket before visiting. The devil knows how to be “reasonable.” He always has. He was quite reasonable when he talked to Eve in the Garden. His arguments were plausible and persuasive.

Nothing has changed. If you want to keep your heart safe, fill it with the Truth as it is in Christ and His gospel.
