31 Scriptures About Lies & Falsehood will demonstrate that God expects us to stand pure without any deception before Him.
We can be easily misled to tell a white lie or a half-truth.
For God, there are no compromises when it comes to telling the truth.
He expects us to live our lives without any grey-compromised areas and with total and complete transparency.
God is so serious about this that he counts the liars among murderers, sexually immoral, and idolaters who will not receive eternal life.
“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.”
Revelation 21:8
