Liar, Liar Pants on Fire

It’s amazing to me that many people think nothing much of lying these days but the Bible puts it in the same category as things like murder, sexual immorality, sorcery and idolatry. “And all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone.” Now I’m not trying to be a Hell fire preacher just trying to make the point how wicked and insulting lying really is to the God of Truth. We wouldn’t use murder as a means to take the pressure off us or to get out of some responsibility or to gain some advantage nor should we use deceit to do the same. The Devil is a liar and the father of it so when you lie you are being Satanic and acting like the devil. Lying is not acceptable and apparently all habitual liars will be swimmers in eternal fires. Wo, that’s freaky but that’s not the main reason not to lie. The main reason is because it’s dishonorable and detestable to our Heavenly Father the everlasting God of truth. Lying will always catch up with you because “Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practise to deceive!” But if you don’t want to end up like a bug stuck in Satan’s web then ask God to help you and He will give you the Spirit of Truth. Lying is the main character defect that leads to all others. Find a person who’s willing to lie and it won’t be long before they’ll be doing other things and thinking that they can lie and find a way to hide it. The more comfortable people get with lying the farther they get from integrity. But the truth is we all will give an account of ourselves to God and nobody’s getting away with anything. No matter how dark our culture gets lying will always be a fire sin in the Kingdom of God. God will not tolerate it and the only way to get free from it is to ask for forgiveness and repent and start telling the truth. And if you know and abide in the truth you will be free but those who lie will never be.

Rev 21:3-8
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."

5 Then He who sat on the throne said,"Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful."

6 And He said to me,"It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."
NKJV

John 8:44
44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
NKJV

Ex 20:13-16

13 "You must not murder.

14 "You must not commit adultery.

16 "You must not lie.
