What does the bible say about people who lie to one another?
Lying is a huge issue for many people, including Christians. "Thou shall not lie" is one of the ten commandments, but even Christians have trouble with this commandment.
Proverbs: 6:16-19 goes on to say....
There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
Colossians 3:9-10
Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.
Each one of these verses tells us that God hates when we lie. It is a sin. So tell me why do so many people have to lie. When we decide to put God in our heart you become a new person. You feel like a new person. You just have so much happiness why in the world would you ever want to commit another sin again. I want to serve my God and do no wrong. Now don't get me wrong, I am going to sin again. I am not a perfect person nor will I ever be. But I made the choice to live a honest Christian life So why if you choose to live a new Christian. life would you choose to lie to people around you. Lying is a choice you make. So you are choosing to sin. Lying to get yourself out of trouble...no! Just tell the truth. Lying to protect those you love...no!! Just tell the truth. Lying to make yourself look good....no, why would you do that. People the truth will set you free..
Make the choice today my friends, if you have God in your life and he is in your heart today should be the last day you ever tell another lie no matter what.
