Bible Verses About Honesty provides 9 verses about being honest. How can Christians Be Honest? Every Christian is concerned about this topic, for the Lord Jesus once said, “Truly I say to you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:3). Pursuing to be honest is directly related to our entering into the kingdom of heaven. The essence of God is faithful and God loves the honest, so being the honest is very important. However, in our daily life, controlled by interests, face, and status and so on, we often tell lies and cheat others; we live in a cycle of sinning and confessing and cannot extricate ourselves; we practice being honest with great difficulty. Then, how should we practice being honest? Recently, I read an article Learn to Be Honest in the Business of Selling Clothes, which says that the protagonist wants to practice the Lord’s requirement and to be honest but encounters some difficulties, and that she finally relies on God and God’s word to give up telling lies and cheating others. Her experience gives me direction of practice and makes me feel that it is not difficult to be honest.
