Deception Revealed (Psalm 119:118)

You have rejected all those who wander from Your statutes, for their deceitfulness is useless.
Psalm 119:118

Tragically, there are multitudes of people who are exceedingly confident that they can determine their own destiny. They live life as they will, sometimes with a touch of religiosity, and believe that when all is said and done, their eternal destiny will work out just fine. Self-deception is a terrible condition.

It is easy to deceive other people, but no one will be able to deceive God. He sees all and knows all.

The eyes of the Lord are in every place, watching the evil and the good.
Proverbs 15:3

God has clearly presented Himself through both general and special revelation. Mankind is fully aware that there is a God.

For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Romans 1:21

In the end, the wicked will face the wrath of God.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness…
Romans 1:18

For now, fellow believers, we have the privilege of sharing the truth of the gospel with these people who are so deceived. It is their only hope!
