Lying is what Satan did when he deceived Eve in the Garden. It’s almost as if lying is what signifies being in the old self versus the new self. The personal experience was right after becoming converted, lying was one the first things to go. It is so freeing not to lie, to not be bound by the slavery that lying produces. When we lie, it creates a domino effect where it becomes apparent that one lie leads to another lie. If a person tells a fib, they have to back that fib up with another fib. It creates a big mess. It’s amazing how much trouble can be avoided by just telling the truth from the get-go. Yeah, depending on the situation, it may sting for a moment, but then it is over. However, when we lie, we escape the initial sting, but then set ourselves up for a much bigger sting later. Besides, folks won’t trust us if we have a reputation of lying.
