What does the Bible say about being persuaded by God?

The Bible speaks of being persuaded by God as a deep conviction rooted in the truth of Scripture and the person of Christ. In 2 Timothy 1:12, Paul expresses his confidence in Christ, stating, 'I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.' This persuasion is centered on a holy conviction that encompasses both knowledge and reliance on Christ’s sufficiency and power. Such persuasion cannot stem from human reasoning or experience alone; it requires divine revelation, illuminating the truth of the Gospel as presented in the Scriptures.
