Being a liar is by far one of the worst characteristics that one can have. No other characteristic besides being a murderer is more like Satan than to be a liar since it is considered his native tongue, meaning everything that spews from his mouth is a half truth. To be a consistent liar is to hate truth and without knowing it, hating Jesus as well because He is the Truth. A known liar will never be taken seriously, and will not be entrusted with anything that’s important to someone’s life. The more your life is filled with lies the more you will convince yourself that, that is your reality.
No one can serve two masters. Either he will serve the Truth (Jesus) or the lie (Satan); you cannot partake of both since the Lord will vomit you out. Either you are committed to one or the other, you cannot tell the truth mixed with lies and be pleasing to the Lord. It would be like someone giving you a glass of water with a drop of cyanide, the cup containing 99% of water and 1% of poison. The question is, would you take a drink from the glass of water containing the 1% poison thinking to yourself the potency has been diluted to the point that it is safe to drink? It will still kill you. No amount of truth can cancel the lie that’s in the mix of what you’re saying. A half truth is a whole lie. One who tells a little white lie is as much a liar as the one who lies about everything, choosing to do Satan’s bidding.
Proverbs 6:16-19
16 The Lord hates six things; in fact, seven are detestable to Him: 17 arrogant eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that plots wicked schemes, feet eager to run to evil, 19 a lying witness who gives false testimony, and one who stirs up trouble among brothers.
Proverbs 12:22
Lying lips are detestable to the Lord, but faithful people are His delight.
Psalms 101:7
No one who acts deceitfully will live in my palace; no one who tells lies will remain in my presence.
Colossians 3:9
Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old self with its practices
1 John 2:4
The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” yet doesn’t keep His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
John 8:44
You are of your father the Devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of liars.
Leviticus 19:11
“You must not steal. You must not act deceptively or lie to one another.
Revelation 21:8
But the cowards, unbelievers, vile, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars—their share will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Well said. I think the devil is working so hard in making lie look like a smaller sin in the eyes of believers. So it becomes easier to tolerate lying Spirit than the spirit of fornication for example. This he doing to deceive people. Thanks for this post. I wrote a similar blog few weeks ago. You might want to check it out.

Hello Efua, thank you for your wonderful comment. I agree with everything you said. When we lie we are speaking Satan’s language. Either we reflect Christ by speaking the truth or Satan by lying. I will check your post.

I liked your post on the topic of lying. Since man fell, we have spiraled into lying and it has become so ingrained in who we are as human beings that it’s natural to us. If shouldn’t be natural to us, it should be repulsive to us.
I like when you said, “The more your life is filled with lies the more you will convince yourself that, that is your reality.” because it is saying that if we lie and continue to tell lies, it will just be who we are: A Liar; and we will become like our Earthly father the Devil.

You know that to learn a different language is very difficult and time consuming. But, to learn Satan’s language just comes natural with no effort.
