Is saying untrue things a sin?

Lying is a sin no matter how it is done.

Lost people lie all the time to their peers and coworkers. Cheat on their work hours and sometimes do not show up for work telling their boss they are sick. Jesus does not like people lying all the time. Stop any lie and blessings upon blessings shall come to you.

A lie is rooted in fear (not to be confuse with reverence). A lie is a sin no matter how we package it. Lies are substandard living. Truth is bold, maybe painful but it is beneficial. The Truth will indeed set you free!

The longer you serve the Lord and love Him with all your heart, mind and soul, all lies will stay away and Jesus will be the center of your life. He will protect you, guide you and He is waiting for you and for me at heavens gates,.
