Hello,
Lying Means You're Shamefaced
"Therefore, ridding yourselves of falsehood, SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE OF YOU WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, because we are parts of one another." Ephesians 4:25, NASB.
We'll do almost anything to cover up a truth that hurts us.
We're embarrassed by what we did that isn't godly. So, we lie.
But Christians do not live by that code.
We have a new mind and a new life as we become Christians. The old self dies, and the new self lives.
Jesus, of course, allowed His body to be nailed to the cross, providing salvation.
We're all sinners. But in salvation, we are righteous, sanctified, and true.
We all know our brethren sin, but we love our spiritual family.
There's no pain in confessing sin because God loves us and our brethren love us.
We need not lie about anything.
Our Father lovingly forgives us as we repent.
We live in love daily with our Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
