Speaking the Truth Ephesians 4:25

Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another. (NKJV) Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. (NASB95)

Speaking the Truth Duty of Israelites (Lev. 19:11; Ps. 101:7; Zech. 8:14-17) Duty of Disciples (Zeph. 3:12-13; Eph. 4:14-15; Col. 3:9-11)

Tragedy at Nob White Lie: David lied without malice (1 Sam. 21:1-10). Black Lie: Doeg lied with malicious intent (1 Sam. 22:1-19). Tragic Outcome: While Doeg stood condemned for his malevolence (Ps. 52:1- 5), David was not without fault (1 Sam. 22:20-23).

Conclusion God’s word consistently commends those who are truthful and condemns those who are liars (Ps. 15:1-5; Prov. 12:17-22; Jer. 9:1-6; Acts 5:1-11). Accordingly, all liars will be excluded from heaven, being destined for the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death (Rev. 21:7-8, 25-27; 22:14-15).

Challenge Malicious lies are obviously destructive, but even “white lies” may have adverse and untended consequences. Honesty is always the best policy. Therefore, let us strive to be truthful but tactful, not grating but gracious (Prov. 25:11; Eph. 4:29; Col. 4:6).
