The 10 Commandments | No Lying

In this sermon, we examine the Ninth Commandment: “You shall not bear false witness.” As we unpack its meaning, we discover that this commandment applies to all our interactions with others. First, God calls His people to speak with honesty, accuracy, and fairness—never distorting the truth or judging without knowledge. Second, Christians must courageously uphold the truth in a world that suppresses it, defending what is right even when it is costly. Finally, God commands that our speech build up and bless others. As believers, we are called to be lovers of the truth, guarding ourselves from every form of falsehood.
