Truth

EPH 4:25 NIV

Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.

We have been called out to show the world that we live by a different standard from the world. The world seems to accept falsehood, deceit and half-truths as a way of life. We call people who can bamboozle their way through standards 'smart' and 'savvy', forgetting that with God, truth is not negotiable because truth is his person, his nature, himself. As long as I desire to be known as a child of God, then it is non-negotiable that I speak, act and live like the One I claim to follow or know. Would the testimony of my mouth make Any impact If people cannot trust the truth behind my words? Would my life make impact If I do not walk my talk, saying one thing and doing the very opposite?

If indeed I have been saved, and I belong to a family guided and headed by Truth Himself, then I owe it to the head of the family to bear the name well. I must not pollute or cause offence to the name; I must bear the family name well so that when I speak, act or converse, everyone knows whose name I bear and under whose banner I live. His time of favour is here.
