Now, What does the Bible say about Lying?
Find below a list of the most Helpful, Inspiring & Thought Provoking Bible Verses about Lying I could find in the Bible. Lying is a big deal to God – even “white lies” and “small lies”. God hates lying, and for good reason. When we lie, we are sinning against God. When we lie, we are not acting in the character of God, our father. Lying is consistent with the character of the devil – Lying is the language of the devil! (scriptures below)

Telling lies can become a seemingly unbreakable bad habit or an addiction – but with God’s help and our cooperation, we can overcome the dangerous sin of lying. God can teach us how to respond or react to situations wisely and intelligently without having to resort to lying. God can help us to know when to speak and when to be quiet. God can help us to put our complete trust in Him so that we do not lie to get ahead in business or in the workplace. God can help us to have the right priorities – always seeking to please God above pleasing man.
