“Not to Lie” 9th Commandment – Exodus 20:16 Old Testament: Hosea 4:1-3 Psalm 34 New Testament: Colossians 3:1-10
I. What constitutes a lie? * Not every deception is a 9th Commandment violation * The context of the 9th Commandment is a legal court ** “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor” ** False Swearing; Perjury
II. Why do we lie? A. We lie because we’re afraid of the truth of God * Romans 1:18-20 B. We lie because we’re afraid of the truth of ourselves in relation to God * Self deception * injustice; deception – and concerned with Truth
III. The Truth is for us! * Everyone is a liar, except for Jesus * Jesus is the Truth (with a capital “T”) John 1:14; 8:44; 14:6 Isaiah 53:7-8 1 Peter 2:22-23 Colossians 3:9-10
“Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to the cross I cling; naked, come to thee for dress; helpless, look to thee for grace; “ @[foul, I to the fountain fly; wash me, Savior, or I die.]
