THE DANGER OF LYING

 Hello fam! 

How is your day going?

Today's topic is an interesting one because the truth is a topic many don't like to talk about, some say the truth is bitter and yes! many times it is difficult to express the truth in some situations. You will agree with me that it is easier to go for lies under pressure. 

By the way this blog should have been out few weeks back but I had some challenges publishing it. 

So before we journey further, what does it mean to lie? In any case whatsoever; lying is presenting falsehood. Many people find it easy and some use it as a way of wisdom, some even beautify this act by giving it names like: white lie

Is lying bad? To answer this question you first have to understand that the truth beyond an act of integrity and honesty it is a person. Yes! The truth is a person. 

Jesus speaking in John 14:6 introduces himself as the truth. If the truth is a person then surely lie too should have its identity right? 🤔

Let's check it out: John 8:44 gives us some information about this it say this "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."

We understand here that Jesus is the truth and the devil is a liar and not just that anyone who participates in lying is acting as a legitimate child of the devil. 

Aside this truth, here is a major danger of telling lies: Revelation 21:8 says this "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

It emphasizes on "all liars" not a few of them but all of them none will be left. So the next time you find yourself in a situation when you want to lie remember that whatever it is, is not worth your destruction. I hope this has blessed you? I will love to hear your thoughts on this topic in the comment section.
