Deception is making someone believe a falsehood is the truth. The error will injure the deceived party into making a wrong decision that will ultimately harm him. I have had people misrepresent the truth to me. I have purchased a few items over the years that have been gravely misrepresented.
Before I purchase a used car, I ask to speak to the former owner. You can learn the actual scoop on the car by speaking to the former owner. A car dealer once told me the car I was looking at had never been in an accident. I called the owner, who told me the car had been accordioned. I called up the car dealer and told him the jig was up.
If you try to deceive someone, it will haunt you. A business will lose customers fast as word of mouth travels very fast regarding how they treat their customers. If you have to deceive someone to sell something, you are a train wreck that will derail. Represent your product for what it actually can do and no more. People learn who they can and cannot trust very quickly. If you want return customers who will make your business shine treat them like royalty every time they come into your business and never spread falsehoods about what you have to sell.
Never misrepresent anything. Stay away from double-dealing. Stay away from fraudulent activity. Tell the truth, and then you can sleep with a clear conscience at night. Remember, the truth will always set you free.
God knows when you are trying to deceive him. Our friends see us for who we are in their eyes, but God sees our hearts, and we cannot deceive him. Adam and Eve tried it. Gen. 3: 7 – 24 Cain tried it. Gen, 4: 1 – 15, and David tried. Never pretend you are more than what you indeed are. God knows you as you indeed are inside your heart and soul.
