Because God's word is truth and His image is truth, man who is created in His image, was created to speak the truth. However, Satan, whose word and image are false, has brought about man's fall into a state of being deceived and deceiving. Therefore, Christians must be inoculated with God's word and pursue a life that is free of deception so that they will not be deceived. We must speak the truth, truly and when tempted to lie, be innocent as doves and wise as serpents. |
