LYING (Deceit, Falsehood, Untruth) Why is God's judgment against lying so harsh? BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 15:1-35 KEY BIBLE VERSE: When Samuel finally found him, Saul greeted him cheerfully. "May the Lord bless you," he said. "I have carried out the Lord's command!" "Then what is all the bleating of sheep and lowing of cattle I hear?" Samuel demanded. (1 Samuel 15:13-14) Lying is a form of self-deception. Saul thought he had won a great victory over the Amalekites, but God saw it as a great failure because Saul had disobeyed him and then lied to Samuel about the results of the battle. Saul may have thought his lie wouldn't be detected, or that what he did was not wrong. Saul was deceiving himself. Lying destroys integrity. Dishonest people soon begin to believe the lies they construct around themselves. Then they lose the ability to tell the difference between truth and lies. By believing your own lies you deceive yourself, you alienate yourself from God, and you lose credibility in all your relationships. In the long run, honesty wins out. BIBLE READING: 2 Chron. 18:1-27 KEY BIBLE VERSE: So King Ahab summoned his prophets, four hundred of them, and asked them, "Should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead or not?" They all replied, "Go ahead, for God will give you a great victory!" (2 Chron. 18:5) Lying sometimes leads to injustice. When you want to please or impress someone, it is tempting to lie to make yourself look good. Ahab's four hundred prophets did just that, telling Ahab only what he wanted to hear. They were then rewarded for making Ahab happy. Micaiah, however, told the truth and got arrested (2 Chron. 18:25-26). Obeying God doesn't always protect us from evil consequences. Obedience may, in fact, provoke them. But it is better to suffer from human's displeasure than from God's wrath (Matthew 10:28). If you are ridiculed for being honest, remember that this can be a sign that you are indeed doing what is right in God's eyes (Matthew 5:10-12; Romans 8:17, 35-39). BIBLE READING: Ephes. 4:17-32 KEY BIBLE VERSE: So put away all falsehood and "tell your neighbor the truth" because we belong to each other. (Ephes. 4:25) Lying undermines our freedom and unity in Christ. Lying to each other disrupts unity by creating conflicts and destroying trust. It tears down relationships and leads to open warfare in a church. Our old way of life before we believed in Christ, which may have included lying, is completely in the past. We should put it behind us like old clothes to be thrown away. We first make this choice when we decide to accept Christ's gift of salvation (Ephes. 2:8-10), and we must consciously renew this commitment every day. We are not to be driven by desire and impulse. We must put on the new role, head in the new direction, and have the new way of thinking that the Holy Spirit gives. —Handbook of Bible Application If that is not enough perhaps one of these will help.
