Don't Be Cheated.

[Scott Hutchinson]

Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit according to the tradition of men,according to the basic principles of the world,and not according to Christ. COL:2:8 NKJV

Here we have The Apostle saying something to the congregation at Colosse,that rings truth today.

Many good people are being cheated of eternal life and heavenly riches because they have built their lives on philosphies that have deceived them and have caused them to be blinded to a live that finds worth due to the grace of God,and what Christ has purchased for us due to His sacrifice and shed blood.

Man is a fallen creature and the only goodness that we can ever attain to comes from being saved by grace through faith and abiding in Christ ,any belief that teaches otherwise is a damnable lie and it is not worth the paper it is written on.

Only through being in Christ,does life have true and lasting value,outside of this is a vain existence,and any philosphy that is not Christ centered leads to everlasting destruction,have all of the philosphers and their teachings all you want,but Rock of Ages cleft for me,let me hide myself in thee.

Christ and His teachings alone are all the only rock for a life of true value to be built upon.

Don't let the high brow flowery speeches of wordly philosphy,turn you away from everlasting life.
