This is the audio recording for Liberty Gospel track TRE 188. The title of the track is To Tell the Truth. On the front, there's a boy looking kind of guilty and a jar of cookies. And the question is being asked, son, did you get into the cookies? Inside the track, it reads, you do not have to teach a child how to lie. It comes natural. Ever since the first married couple, Adam and Eve, sinned in the Garden of Eden. The Bible says they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. Psalm 58, verse three. Adults have a problem with lying too. So before an adult testifies in a court of law, he or she will first be asked to raise their right hand and answer the following question. Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God? The Bible says, Lie not one to another. Colossians 3 verse 9. It is easy to tell a lie because our sinful hearts justify whatever we want to say or do. The Bible tells us the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. Who can know it? Jeremiah 17 verse 9. We have to be taught to tell the truth. The Bible says, wherefore, putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor. Ephesians 4 verse 25. There was a man by the name of Ananias, and his wife's name was Sapphira. They sold some land and pretended to give the whole amount of money to the church. The Bible says, but Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost and to keep back part of the price of the land? While 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. An Ananias hearing these words fell down and gave up the ghost, and great fear came on all them that heard these things. Acts 5 verses 3 through 5. Sapphira, his wife, did not know what had happened, and when she came in, Peter then questioned her. The Bible says, Tell me, whether you sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. Acts 5, verse 8. Like her husband, Sapphira lied and then she fell down dead. The Bible says, Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost. And the young man came in and found her dead, and carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. Acts 5 verse 10. Do you know that there is an even worse punishment for lying, worse than being struck down dead? It is spending eternity with those liars who have not asked the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive them and to save them. The Bible says, all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. Revelation 21 verse 8. The Bible says, Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out. Acts 3 verse 19. The Bible says, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Acts 16, verses 30 and 31. Who is the Lord Jesus Christ? He is the Son of God, the Creator of all things, God Almighty in the flesh. The name Lord means Master. Do you desire to repent of your sin and obey the Lord? The name Jesus means Savior. Your good deeds cannot pay for your sins. because the Bible says the wages of sin is death. Romans 6, 23. Jesus loved you enough to die on the cross, giving his pure, sinless blood to pay the wages of your sin. The name Christ means Messiah. He is coming again, and it could be at any moment. Are you ready? The Bible says, prepare to meet thy God. Amos 4, verse 12. The proof that Jesus successfully paid the wages of your sin is the fact that he arose from the grave. The Bible says he was buried and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15, verse 4. To be saved, you must call upon the Lord Jesus from your heart. The Bible says that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Romans 10, verses nine and 13. Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ right now. Ask him to forgive you and to cleanse you and to save you. After we ask the Lord Jesus Christ to save us, then God instructs us to get baptized under the water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Baptism does not save us. It is the outward testimony that Jesus has saved us. and that we want to now live for Him. The Bible says, therefore, we are buried with Him by baptism into death, that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Romans 6, verse 4. My friend, do you desire to walk in that newness of life? Do you desire to know that your sins are forgiven? The Lord Jesus Christ is waiting for you now to bow your head, to confess your sin to Him, and to ask Him to save you and cleanse you. Make that decision today, my friend.
