The Truth About Lies


Some people think that lying is okay if it helps them get something they want. We see many times in the Bible when people made the bad decision to not tell the truth.

You may read about Annanias and Sapphira in Acts 5:1-10. Also, you may read about Gehazi in 2 Kings chapter 5.

Remember Proverbs 21:6. "A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare." It is not worth it to lie!

Proverbs 6:16-19 lists 7 things God hates. Two of them have to do with lying!

Satan is a horrible being, and one of the bad things about him is that he lies ALL the time. (See John 8:44.) Do not follow the devil's example. Be like Jesus and speak the truth!
