Why you should be honest?

Answer 1

You should certainly be honest , because eventually if your never ever honest, no one will want to be your friend and it is not very caring not to be honest.

To be a liar, you would have to have an excellent memory. Things have a habit of catching up with you, if you can't remember what you have and haven't said, you will just dig a bigger hole for yourself. Its other people that end up getting hurt, the person who lied, just gets dented pride. People never trust a dishonest person.

"It is the lip of truth that will be firmly established forever, but the tongue of falsehood will be only as long as a moment," explains Proverbs 12:19. Yes, truthful speech is marked by durability and permanence. And human relationships are more stable and satisfying when people are committed to speaking the truth and acting in harmony with it. Indeed, truthfulness brings immediate rewards. These include a clean conscience, a good reputation, and strong relationships in marriage, in the family, among friends, and even in business.

Lies, on the other hand, cannot stand the test of time. A tongue that utters falsehood may deceive for a while, but untruth does not prevail in the long term. Furthermore, Jehovah, the God of truth, has set a time limit for the toleration of untruth and of those who promote lies. The Bible promises that Jehovah will wipe out the influence of Satan the Devil, the father of the lie, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth. Jehovah will soon put an end to all lies and liars.-Revelation 21:8.
