“casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”
2 Corinthians 10:5 KJV
Paul was convinced that every lofty idea and argument positioned against God’s knowledge of us, is cast down and exposed to be a mere invention of our own imagination. We arrest every thought at spear point - anything that could possibly trigger an opposing threat to our redeemed identity and innocence - is taken captive. The calibre of our weapon is empowered by the revelation of the ultimate consequence of the obedience of Christ. The obedience of Christ dwarfs the effect of the disobedience of Adam into insignificance! One man’s disobedience opened the door for all humanity to become sinners. So also One Man’s obedience opened the door for many to be made perfectly right with God and acceptable to Him. Just as sin reigned through death, so also this sin-conquering grace reigns as king through righteousness, imparting eternal life through Jesus, our Lord and Messiah! Hallelujah!
