"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" (Acts 5:4 KJV)
Did you know that when you lie to people you're actually lying to God? How do we know this is true? When we read Matthew 25:40 KJV it says, "And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."
Whatever we say or do as Christians (Disciples... Followers of Christ Jesus... Hearers and Doers of the Word of God, His Obedient Ones) should be done heartily as unto the LORD and not onto men (see... Col. 3:23 KJV).
What reason do we ever have to lie about anything? If we adhere to the decency of the moral code given to all, by God, we do not have a reason to lie. People who are ignorant about who God is and who they are to God have many reasons to lie to people. and many lie to themselves because of their identity crisis. When you don't know who you are, then you can be easily misled and deceived into believing the false report.
This is just one of the reasons it is vital to know and gain an understanding of the wisdom found in the pages of the Holy Bible. The BIBLE is said to be "Biblical Instructions Before Leaving Earth" and is the only way to truly obtain the foundational lessons that our Creator has provided every soul that they may come to the understanding of the truth. We must know the truth... (see John 8:32 KJV) it's what makes us free. FREE FROM THE LIES, DECEPTIONS THAT BLOCK US FROM ACCESS TO OUR LORD!
Our Father loves us and has demonstrated and commended His love towards us... "in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Rom. 5:8 KJV)
