Do you
love Jesus?
Joh_14:23
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and
my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with
him.
Do you
love Jesus?
Joh_14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Exo_20:16
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Mat_15:19
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications,
thefts, false witness, blasphemies
Mat_19:18
He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not
commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness
False
witness. Lying. To witness falsely is to lie plain and simple. You lie about
another, and when you lie you are given false testimony, false witness. You are
being deceptive. Is there anything good
about being a false witness? Is there any good in lying?
Some know
firsthand what it means to be falsely witnessed against. Once the accusations are made you are in
shock. You protest you are being falsely accused but it scarcely matters. The
words are spoken, the belief of them is out there. Your intense righteous
indignation is pushed to the extreme. You want the truth to be out there, not
lies. Some people suffer horrifically
under false witnesses. Some have been condemned to death at the mere lying
words of another person. Others have ended up in jail for life over lies,
unjustly accused and they have to suffer a life time of imprisonment. Bearing
false witness is a sin. Every variant that exists connected to bearing false
witness, to lying, is a sin in need of forgiveness, of repentance.
Jesus says
if we love Him we will not bear false witness against others. Do you love
Jesus? Are you keeping His commandments?
Do not
sugar coat a single lie! Do not excuse one falsehood spoken against another!
Seek
forgiveness!
Repent and
give up any lying, do not bear any false witness ever!
Speak only
truth of all others, always!
Love
Jesus.
