Psalm 101:7
Psalm 101:7
He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.
A person who engages in deceit and lies has no place in God’s house. Deceit is an abomination to God because it undermines His nature, which is truth. Those who habitually lie and spread falsehood will find themselves separated from the fellowship of believers. God desires His people to walk in integrity, and He commands us to speak truth to one another. In a world filled with deception, the Church is called to stand as a beacon of truth and honesty. As believers, we are expected to reflect God’s character in our interactions with others. This means that we must be truthful in all things and avoid dishonesty, as it grieves the heart of God. Let us strive to be people of integrity, honoring God by living lives marked by honesty and truth.
Proverbs 25:18
A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
Proverbs 10:18
He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
Proverbs 21:6
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
Proverbs 19:9
A false witness shall not be unpunished and he that speaketh lies shall perish.
