Colossians 3:9 Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its evil practices,
The Word of God clearly states we should not lie. If the Word of God states we should not lie, why does society view lying as a norm? Many people lie because of fear. They may be afraid of hurting someone’s feelings, of how others’ will perceive them (image), or of not getting the best.
Although fear appears to be the root of lying, I recently discovered a lack of trust in God is the reason why people lie. If we truly trust God, we would allow God to handle the other person’s feelings when He directs us to tell them the truth. If we truly trust God, we wouldn’t care how our honesty makes us look to the world because our lives are governed by God. If we truly trust God, we wouldn’t be afraid of not getting the best deal because we know with God, through Christ, we always receive the best.
Be honest with others and be honest with yourselves. Eliminate lying from your speech and truly trust God.
