Liars and it’s consequences.

Liars and it’s consequences.

Acts  5:1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,  5:2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.  5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?  5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.  5:5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.  5:6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.  5:7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.  5:8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.  5:9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.  5:10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.  5:11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

Ananias and  Sapphira his  wife conspired together to lie to the church.

But through the help of the blessed Holy Spirit,  Peter discovered the conspiracy and they both died in the church and went to hell fire.

The Bible reveals the lots of liars at the end of time.

Revelation  21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

No wonder you are exhorted to follow the example of our Father in heaven and Jesus Christ our master and Lord.

God the Father.

Titus  1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

Hebrews  6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

Jesus Christ

1 Peter  2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:  2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

The Bible exhorts you over and over to avoid lying and liars lifestyle.

1 Peter  2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:  2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

And you are exhorted never to be a liar.

Leviticus  19:11 Ye shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.

Matthew  5:37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

James  5:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.

2 Samuel  1:1 Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag;  1:2 It came even to pass on the third day, that, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul with his clothes rent, and earth upon his head: and so it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, and did obeisance.  1:3 And David said unto him, From whence comest thou? And he said unto him, Out of the camp of Israel am I escaped.  1:4 And David said unto him, How went the matter? I pray thee, tell me. And he answered, That the people are fled from the battle, and many of the people also are fallen and dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also.  1:5 And David said unto the young man that told him, How knowest thou that Saul and Jonathan his son be dead?  1:6 And the young man that told him said, As I happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, Saul leaned upon his spear; and, lo, the chariots and horsemen followed hard after him.  1:7 And when he looked behind him, he saw me, and called unto me. And I answered, Here am I.  1:8 And he said unto me, Who art thou? And I answered him, I am an Amalekite.  1:9 He said unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon me, and slay me: for anguish is come upon me, because my life is yet whole in me.  1:10 So I stood upon him, and slew him, because I was sure that he could not live after that he was fallen: and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them hither unto my lord.  1:11 Then David took hold on his clothes, and rent them; and likewise all the men that were with him:  1:12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.  1:13 And David said unto the young man that told him, Whence art thou? And he answered, I am the son of a stranger, an Amalekite.  1:14 And David said unto him, How wast thou not afraid to stretch forth thine hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?  1:15 And David called one of the young men, and said, Go near, and fall upon him. And he smote him that he died.  1:16 And David said unto him, Thy blood be upon thy head; for thy mouth hath testified against thee, saying, I have slain the LORD’s anointed.
