The Alpha of Lying

UV 3084/10000 The Alpha of Lying

I hate and abhor lying: but thy law do I love
Psalm 119 v 163
The enemy made the first man and woman, Adam and Eve to believe the lies he spoke. They gave up their love for the words of God which was the law of life. Mankind has similarly replaced the truth of the law of God or His word with lies. When we remove faith in God or F from LIFE, it becomes a lie. A lie has a short life. Its power is short lived. The first lies believed by man led to man losing out on the paradise of the Garden of Eden. Eden was turned into a den of evil. God sent Jesus who personifies Truth to restore mankind back to truth and life eternal. The words of Jesus are now the law to us that we love and live by.

Like Jesus, we need to hate lying. Instead, we need to love the law of love that Jesus gave us in the two commandments He gave us. Lying is destructive, misleading, deceitful while the truth of the law given by Jesus preserves us, blesses us, guides us, leads us, strengthens us. The enemy builds his strongholds on earth using a pack of lies. Jesus builds our lives on the cornerstone of truth and love. Instead of lying we need to speak the truth in a spirit of love. Often, when we speak the truth, we have to pay the cost but the cost of lies is far greater. We should send our words through the filters of the word of God before we speak a word so that we do not lie.
The way to avoid lying is to love the word. The word has power to break all deceitful habits of speaking and living in our lives for lying consists not only of what we speak but how we live. Lying caused Adam and Eve to hide from God in the Garden of Eden. To this day, we hide from God due to our guilt when we lie. The way out is to confess our lies and do our best with the help of the Holy Spirit to come clean.
