2 Corinthians 8:21 (AMP) For we take thought beforehand and aim to be honest and absolutely above suspicion, not only in the sight of the Lord but also in the sight of men.

As we go through life, make an effort to be honest with one another. Our honesty goes beyond ourselves. Our honesty represents God and His Kingdom. If we can be lovingly honest with everyone, unbelievers and young Christians can have a better respect for the Christian. On the other hand, if unbelievers see the Christian being untruthful or dishonest, that can affect how the unbeliever views all Christians and the God the Christian serves.

-One dishonest Christian can make one unbeliever disassociate themselves from all Christians forever.

Don’t be a dishonest Christian.
