We must never lie. That is something the devil does constantly. Every lie is opposed to the Truth, which is the Lord Jesus. Those who are born again must never subject themselves to the same title that the chief destroyer will bear for eternity (John 8:44). We are recreated in Christ to walk with Him; therefore, we cannot accept any stain on our character.

We are brothers and sisters by adoption of the King of kings and, therefore, princes called to glorify Him and show the world that just as He is, so are we: children of the Almighty, God of Heaven and Earth. With unparalleled wisdom, the Most High gave the world the following advice: Excellent speech is not becoming to a fool, much less lying lips to a prince. (Proverbs 17.7).

We cannot interpret any part of the Bible according to our needs or our thoughts, for that would be like changing it. Anyone who allows the enemy to use him to remove any revelation from the Word of God or to add anything to it will give an account at the Lord’s return (Revelation 22:18,19). This is a serious offense and will bring many complications to those who dare to act in this way. Following the Lord's will is the right thing to do!

Those who deceive their brothers become guilty and will have to explain their mistakes. If, because of this, some of the little ones stumble, the liars will also be punished. Keep the devil out of your life by not causing scandals: Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! (Luke 17:1). Give the Lord the honor of seeing you walk according to His direction!

Those who give in to the enemy's suggestions cause confusion in the lives of those who love God and, therefore, will be rebuked. The Most High warns us: Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar. (Proverbs 30:6). It is shameful to be considered a deceiver, even if you have the good intention of helping someone's salvation.

See how important it is to keep the Lord's commandments. He speaks of the Christian who claims to know Him yet fails to obey the Scriptures because he disagrees with some commandment: He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (1 John 2.4). Servants have no right to despise a single precept for any reason!

Anyone who denies that Jesus is the Savior commits a very serious error. Almost all the books of the Old Testament deal with the coming of the Messiah, and indeed, Jesus fulfilled those prophecies. If the promise concerning the coming of Christ had not been fulfilled, the Word of God would be considered flawed, but it is infallible. The Lord Jesus came and will return to gather His Church!
