Enticing words

Col. 2:2-3, “..being knit together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full
assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both
of the Father and of Christ,
in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”

Col. 2:4, “Now this I say (verses 1-3) lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words.”

I believe others, Gal. 2:4, as well as ourselves, Rom. 12:3, can be negatively persuaded back under the entanglement of the law when we really are not.

Christ is the Hope of Glory. In this hope, we have FULL assurance of understanding
by faith through grace unto knowledge of the mystery of God (Eph. 1:9)
of both the Father and His Son in which ALL the repository of wisdom and
knowledge.

This hope does not put law on us, Rom. 5:5, but creates ever-eager, passive, joyful expectation by faith. Faith is the substance of things “hoped” for. Hope predicates on faith not enticing words. It is His hope and faith in us expressing itself through His love that we partake in, Gal. 5:6.
