5. The deceiver doesn’t care about the aftermath of his decisions. Think about where it left David when Abner crowned Ishbosheth king. Now think about Ishbosheth when Abner makes this deal with King David to bring all of Israel under David’s hand. It appears as if they have, as a purpose in life, the ability to damage others while they protect themselves.
In conclusion, what can you do practically to deal with the deceptive person?
Here are just three practical things.
3. Maintain a true trust in God in spite of such people.
4. Do what is right anyway.
Now, I’m sure there are other answers. But these will help.
At the same time, knowing what the Bible says and applying it to our lives are truly two different things. And, of course, it’s always best to apply the principles of the Bible to your circumstances.
But the first matter that God wants you to settle with Him is your salvation. Now, it might be that you have never become one of His children. And, so you aren’t growing in grace and becoming like Christ.
I’d like you to know that Jesus Christ came to the earth to die to pay the penalty for your sins. And, today, if you will repent of your sins and put your trust on Christ for eternal life, you will immediately become a child of God. You will receive the Free Gift of eternal life. Jesus said “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.” “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” It’s your sin that separates you from Him. Here’s what He says about that.
Why not right now pray the salvation prayer? Here’s that wonderful prayer. “I admit to You that I am a sinner and deserve Your justice for my sins. I now see that you are a God of grace and that by grace I can be saved. Here is a simple and a wonderful salvation prayer. You only need to pray it once and the LORD forgives you forever and you become His child. “I admit to You that I am a sinner and deserve Your justice for my sins. I now see that you are a God of grace and that by grace I can be saved. Please forgive me of my sins. I receive Jesus Your Son as my Savior and LORD. Amen”
