Escaping Deception

In Colossians Chapter 2, Paul said he struggled for people. He wanted to be sure that they had every advantage that would help them be strong in the faith.

When we are encouraged in heart, and united in love, the full riches of complete understanding are ours.

When we understand completely what God has done for us, in us, and to us, we can truly know the mystery of God.

That mystery is Christ in us.

You see, in Christ are all the limitless treasures of wisdom. Wisdom to understand the deep things of God. Wisdom to understand the weakness of the flesh. Wisdom to know the value of simply resting in Christ and allowing His life to be manifested through us.

In Christ are all the limitless treasures of knowledge too. Knowledge of God. Not just knowing about Him but knowing Him personally. Knowing Him is eternal life. Knowing Him is everything because He is the source of everything.

When we are unified, loving, understanding and knowing in this way, we are not easily deceived by fine-sounding arguments.

We rest securely and peacefully in Him. Just as He would have it.

(See Colossians 2:1-4)
