“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

John 8:7
So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.”

James 5:16
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

Proverbs 9:8
Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you.

Titus 3:10
Reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition,

Psalms 32:1-5
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit. When I kept silent, my bones grew old Through my groaning all the day long. For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

Most people think the Ten Commandments are a list of rules / Do’s & Don’ts. But actually, the Ten Commandments are principles for living. Those principles enhance our relationships with God and other people.

Exodus 20:16
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

1. BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF

Neither God or anyone else can help a dishonest person. They won’t admit the truth.

2. BE HONEST WITH OTHERS

We need accountability and honesty.

3. BE HONEST WITH GOD

God knew you would do what you do before you did it. He’s already paid the price for forgiving you before you did it.

The only way to live a joyful, peace-filled Christian life is to be totally honest. Bring hidden things out in the open.

Honesty is one of the freeingest principles you will ever allow into your life. Start being honest!
