From how we handle our money and our dealings with men, to our relationship with God, honesty is commanded by the Lord. We as His children are to be consistently honest from a pure heart. God Himself embodies this; even His name, I AM, is pure honesty. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Satan knows that any dishonesty in our lives will eventually be exposed, ruining the effectiveness of our witness and causing division. He desires to sidetrack the work that God has prepared for us to do. Satan works hard to tempt us to be ,dishonest, and then to expose us!

An honest life is consistent with God's image in us, best for ourselves and for the Gospel.
