Nothing But Truth!

Listen to this blog.

We believe what people tell us. But we can trust what God says even more, and God is the one who has spoken about his Son. If we have faith in God’s Son, we have believed what God has said. But if we don’t believe what God has said about his Son, it is the same as calling God a liar.   God has also said that he gave us eternal life and that this life comes to us from his Son. And so, if we have God’s Son, we have this life. But if we don’t have the Son, we don’t have this life.

1 John 5:9-12

Calling someone a liar is a far deeper cut than simply saying that they lied about something.  If you are a liar, you lie about almost everything if not everything.  It is impossible to have a close relationship with a liar.  Liars undermine relationships at every turn because without truth there is no mortar to hold the bricks together and there are no nails in the frame of the house. 

A loving relationship built on truth can weather the storms, but when lies are inserted into the mix the relationship will fall apart. 

When you call God a liar and question the truthfulness of His Word, you cannot experience the joy of knowing Him.

And when you lie to God and like Adam and Eve blame someone else for your own sin you will never walk with God in the cool of the Garden because you will spend  your time hiding behind a bush!

How often do you put your toe into the water of deceit?  You tell yourself, "it is not really a lie," but it is not really the truth either.  Here is a challenge for today.  When you are about to say something that is not completely true, stop and say nothing at all.  Try, for one day to keep yourself as a man or woman whose words are total truth.  I think we will all be shocked at how often we need to be quiet.

Lord, may my mouth today only utter words that like Yours are nothing but truth!  And give me the discernment to know the difference.
