Who never said anything
improper or out of place? We all did at least once. This can even be revealed,
but to lie is considered a sin before God.
It’s very important to be
careful with our tongue. We cannot forget that from our mouth can come out
words of life to edify, just like words of death to destruction.
Today I will speak about
lie. What many people don’t know is that there are many ways to lie. Let’s see:
Deceive
–
Many people deceive others for many reasons. Be it for greed, convenience, to
hide something improper, or to gain benefits. This brings terrible consequences
and shows that we don’t trust in God in the moment of managing the situation.
Half-truths
–
Which are the same as half-lies, means to not say the truth completely. In
other words, to hide or to omit something, not to say things as they really
are. This happens a lot when someone wants to apologize for something, and
makes believe facts that did not happen exactly the ways she’s saying.
Exaggerate
–
Many times people try to make a story beautiful to get more attention from the
listeners. To exaggerate seems inoffensive but it’s a way of lying. The person
decorates the truth to make it seem more credible, however she loses her
credibility because she exaggerates and increases it, changing the real facts.
“Lying
lips are abomination to the Lord, but those who deal truly are His
delight.” Proverbs 12:22
How about you? Have you
ever seen yourself in a situation that you used deceive, half-truths, or
exaggeration?
