Stop lying, It’s Too Much Work

“And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.” There are different perspectives of how the truth can set you free. When a person is a habitual liar, the work that goes into maintaining the lies is exhausting. Trying to remember what lie you told this person or that person, making sure each lie goes with the one you told someone else in your campaign of foolishness. This will wear you out faster than overtime on your job. There’s a freedom in always telling the truth, even unto the incrimination of your unintentional bad choices. If your circle of friends can’t handle the truth of your imperfections as a human being, then get rid of that circle of friends. They’re not true friends who would stick by you even with your imperfections. The other reality of being set free by the truth (Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life) is we as christians are no longer under the bondage of sin. The sin nature was removed when you got saved, born again. Now we have a choice not to habitually do wrong, because it is no longer our nature. The temptation to sin or do wrong is very real, and must be kept in check by the knowledge of God’s word working in us. Renewing your mind with the bible, God’s word is vital for freedom in the truth.
