We learn about our sinfulness and how to live in God’s holiness through Jesus. To obtain the new life that God desires for us to have, we cast off all harmful habits and put on the Lord Jesus Christ. In his words, the Lord has taught us numerous lessons on how to live and behave in order to succeed in his kingdom.
Because God despises lying, we believers must not commit this sin. In light of this, we ought to always speak the truth and uphold it. We must be trustworthy in how we live because others will know our God through our words.
We should constantly speak the truth rather than bear false witness against others because we are advancing towards heaven. Even though we may lie to people, we must keep in mind that God is watching over us.
