The Problem with Reason

Luke 20:5 KJV

And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say, Why then believed ye him not?

Jesus asked a simple question and one they surely had an opinion about. But rather than giving Him and answer, they reasoned in their hearts. 

A multitude will spend an eternity in hell because, rather than answering for themselves the question of faith, they will "reason away" reasons they ought to trust Jesus Christ. 

• They will reason in their hearts the sins of religion past
• They will reason in their hearts the confusion of so many denominations
• They will reason in their hearts the problem with unbelieving friends and loved ones
• They will reason in their hearts the fact that they know the Lord will expect a change in their lifestyle 

And they will, therefore, refuse to answer their Geary's question concerning Jesus. 

But to refuse to answer Christ is to answer "No" to Christ. 

Christians are just as prone to this problem of reason and it prevents us from stepping out in faith for God. We reason a million reasons why doing what God has called Christians to do is not a good idea - at least not for us.

Faith is not blind. There are two thousand years worth of evidence to prove the Bible is true, life-changing and the very Word of God. But faith does through away those reasons that the world, the flesh, and the devil will present to prevent one from trusting Christ as Saviour or a child of God from following His will.
