Liars

Revelation 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death."

People I have noticed either have a tendency to speak the truth or to speak a lie. Those that speak the truth have the truth in them and those that don’t, do not. So when faced with a question a person with integrity will answer in terms of that integrity, and some may protect their integrity by either; not answering, or giving an answer that avoids the question and they may even lie to protect their integrity. Integrity is about the person, the truth is the truth despite the person.

I have seen and heard people who struggle in their relationship with Jesus, and they sincerely want to be in that relationship, yet the truth avoids them, in their speaking, their actions and in their so-called integrity. The father of lies is the devil and the Father of Truth is God, so when we are confronted by lies and untruths we are being confronted by evil. So when asked the question the answer should always from a Christian perspective be truthful. We speak the truth, because the Truth dwells in us. Our relationship with Jesus will never be what it should be while we continue to lie.

Be encouraged to recognise the evil in lies spoken.
