Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor-Ephesians 4:25
A man was looking with one of his sons at a children section in a big store and suddenly a delivery person came into the store. He did not see a huge LED TV set displayed on a stand and with his cart stacked high with boxes he hit the huge TV set and sent it crashing to the floor. As the father and the little child watched the incident, the store in-charge said, “Be not concerned. We will not ask you to pay for the damage done. We will tell the supplier it was damaged during transit, and he will replace with a new one.” A lie!
The father, being a firm believer in Christ, without making any purchase left the store. He was not keen to buy it from a store which belonged to a man who would lie without giving it a thought.
It’s very difficult not to fall into a pattern of lying. But if we yeild in to the temptation to lie, soon we are into a trouble of doing it so often that we are not even aware of it anymore. It becomes a way of life.
From the above story, What we don’t realize is that for a few sum of money we may save, We compromise our witness for Christ having sold us out on a basic principle of the Bible.
The standards of God’s Word are high. We must not lower them for the sake of financial gain or because we fear that it’s the only way our business can survive. Our rule in all of life should be: “No Lying.”
Gos is truth And He wants truth from Us. Always tell the truth and tell it right,
