The Bible
teaches that purity of conduct includes truthfulness.
The Bible
teaches us that we should be truthful in our representation of ourselves.
With what
scorn Christ denounced the hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees!
In the
Sermon on the Mount, He rebuked all hypocritical giving, praying, and fasting.
We should
also, be truthful in speaking of our past achievements in our particular
vocation.
God does not
ask us to understate the facts-that might even be untruthfulness-but neither
does He want us to overrate our achievements or our gifts, either in thought or
in speech.
A lie is
anything contrary to the naked truth.
