Have you believed or uttered any of these fibs?

Remember this: We read in “the word of truth” (Bible-Jn. 17:17) that our “God of truth” (Ps. 31:5) “desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Tim. 2:4), so He sent His Son who said, “I am the truth” (Jn. 14:6), to rescue unbelievers, “who suppress the truth” (Rom. 1:18), with the gospel “message of truth” (Col 1:5) by the power of “the Spirit of truth” (Jn 14:17) who places us into “the pillar and support of the truth” (church-1 Tim. 3:15), so we can worship the Lord “in spirit and truth” (Jn. 4:24).

Christianity is all about truth, not fibs. There is “no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth” (3 Jn 4).
