Reject Lies and Embrace Truth
Jesus emphasized the importance of truthfulness and condemned lying. In the Bible, Jesus had some strong words about the consequences of lying. In the book of Matthew, Jesus warns his followers about the dangers of lying, saying, “But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken” (Matthew 12:36, NIV). This verse reminds us that lying is not something to be taken lightly. Every word we speak, including lies, will be accounted for on judgment day. Jesus also emphasizes the importance of honesty in our relationships with others. In the book of John, Jesus says, “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44, NIV). Here, Jesus is pointing out that lying is a characteristic of the devil, who is the ultimate deceiver. By lying, we are aligning ourselves with the devil and his desires. Furthermore, Jesus teaches that lying not only affects our relationship with others but also our relationship with God. In the book of Luke, Jesus tells a parable about a dishonest manager. He says, “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much” (Luke 16:10, NIV). This parable reminds us that if we are dishonest in small matters, we cannot be trusted with greater responsibilities.
