Jacob, aka "the Deceiver" has himself been deceived. He somehow has gone through his blessed life thinking God was good for others, but perhaps not even REAL. Then something big happens and his lightbulb goes on: God is real. He is here. I am in his debt. I owe him something.
It is a fantastic story of real time coming to faith. It serves an an example for all of us. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNijvDWAn2Wv2KFun2AnvCA
