Another Look
Revelation 21:8, But the cowards, faithless, detestable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars-their share will be in the Lake of Fire that burns with fire and sulfur which is the second death
Hebrews 13:8, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
While most of the world believes the Bible is out of date, or just a bunch of stories and fairy tales, our creator sticks by His word.
Numbers 23:19 , God is not a man, that He might lie, or a son of man, that He might change His mind. Does He speak and not act, or promise and not fulfill?
Out of all of the sins that will bring someone to a bad place in eternity, the most common one is lying. Why do you suppose it is? Let's examine it.
The first thing we must consider is, God will not and cannot lie. He has been that way at least from the garden where satan lied to Eve. Going by what happened to humanity after that, we can easily see the destructive power of lying. It became the origin of all kinds of sin.
Most people do not hesitate to lie. They either lie directly or lie by omission that is not giving the whole truth. When a person lies, it doesn't just affect the one that was lied to. It has a life that can continue forever as in the case of satan in the garden. That lie is even affecting the world today.
Proverbs 19:5, A false witness will not go unpunished, and one who utters lies will not Escape.
What I am about to say will cause you to make a choice that will determine where you spend eternity. So here we go. Lets start with unintended consequences. Naturally situations differ, and outcomes are of different severity. I must stress the fact that this is an example that does not reflect any political party.
Let's say a presidential election is coming. The media sends out a constant barrage of lies and misleading stories with their spin on. The voters don't get the truth. A misinformed voter casts a ballot based on bad information and lies. The wrong person wins. He lied during the campaign, and when he wins, he surrounds himself with inept liars.
Through the term, people are hurt, physically, emotionally, and financially. Hundreds of people lose their lives resulting from inept leadership. Families can be affected for generations. The destruction comes about because of Lies. The people that put out these lies, also share in the murder of innocent people.
Before you dismiss this story, think about it. James Madison said , “the government requires a virtuous public and virtuous leaders, or the whole system will fail”! The saying about how computers work is “garbage in, garbage out” God bless you and your family. Praise The Lord!
Remember Jesus loves you.
Prayer of Salvation.
Lord Jesus, please forgive all of my sins, and come into my heart as my personal savior. I want to serve Only You.
Praise The Lord
Amen
