A New Heaven and Earth.
“Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.” 2 Peter 3:13. (KJV).
Sin did not come from God.
There is no sin where God is.
We want to live in His Kingdom here on earth and ultimately make it to Heaven.
As His Ambassadors here in this world, we should be like Him as we represent Him.
He Can not lie.
“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Numbers 23:19(KJV)
While it is great to claim this as a promise that God can not lie about anything He has promised you.
For what He says will undoubtedly come to pass.
However, as a person, we ask again, do you lie?
When last did you do something unfair to your friend?
When last did you lie?
Did you tell “just a little white lie” to get you out of trouble?
Perhaps you blamed your friend for something he did not do.
The one condition to enter the Kingdom of God is righteousness.
Without being righteous, you will not be allowed into His Kingdom.
The Grace to be righteous and not lie is given to you through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
By Faith as you walk daily in Him.
Allow the Holy Spirit to enable you to live a life without lying.
Do you want to make it to Heaven when your assignment on earth is over?
Stop lying.
Application to the Christian life:
Don’t be afraid.
Speak the truth.
Receive His Grace to become righteous.
