Thou shalt not lie (Colossians 3:9)
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------
Children! Do you sometimes lie?
Sometimes they hide certain facts, and sometimes they lie unintentionally for fear of getting scolded if they tell the truth.
A child may have a friend he hates, so he may lie to harm him by making up a word he doesn't like.
There will be no one in their entire life who has never told a lie.
It also means that it's hard to live without telling so many lies.
Some children habitually lie. Because if you deceive others once or twice, you will deceive your own conscience, making more lies to hide one lie.
How can I live honestly without lying?
After the Day of Pentecost, the saints who received the power of the Holy Spirit evangelized diligently and lived helping each other. The poor, the rich, men and women, young and old, became brothers and sisters in Jesus.
Among them, a couple named Ananias and Sapphira sold a field to give to God.
At first, he was going to give all the money he sold to the apostles. But gradually their minds began to change.
Honey, if we give all this money, what will we eat? So let's pay half and hide the other half. "Yeah, then"
The couple hid part of the money, and Peter rebuked Ananias when her husband, Ananias, left the field at the apostles' feet with only part of the sale.
Ananias, why did Satan fill your heart to deceive the Holy Spirit and hide the price of the land?
no. Apostle Peter! It's not... What you're trying to deceive isn't what you did to a person. You did it to the living God...
As soon as he heard this, Ananias collapsed and died. Soon after, Ananias' wife Sapphira arrived.
Sapphira! Is this the only price for the sale of land? Yes, that's all.
Why do you also try to deceive God by testing the Spirit of the Lord?
Sapphira also soon died for lying.
Everyone makes mistakes. You can commit a crime or you can blame your parents or your teachers. You may lie unintentionally. However, those who do not realize and repent of their mistakes cannot be forgiven for their sins.
Ananias and Sapphira were given the opportunity to repent, but they did not repent of their mistakes. From a young age, you should be trained to be honest, speak the right words, and do the right thing.
