Starting a new series today. Many try to justify sin but God’s word is absolute truth and there is no arguing with it. So let’s start out with Lie vs. Truth.
Lie-
“Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who deal truthfully are His delight.”
Proverbs 12:22
“These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood,”
Proverbs 6:16-17
“But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.””
Revelation 21:8
I think that sums up lying pretty well…God hates it, it is an abomination to Him, and those who do not confess it up as sin to God and receive forgiveness in Jesus will burn in hell forever.
Now for Truth!
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6
“Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.”
John 17:17
“Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another.”
Ephesians 4:25
Jesus is Truth! When we are a follower of Him then we are sanctified by Him and walk in His ways. Do we must always speak truth no matter the cost as Jesus did! Being truthful is our way of life!
