Why I Don’t Lie (Part 2)

Because lies don’t just hurt people — lies align us with satan and hell

In Part 1, I shared how lying steals your peace, forces you to cover lie after lie, and leaves you restless at night.

…but did I share that lying is fundamentally, spiritually wrong in the first place?

Lucifer, satan, the devil, is crowned the king of lies.

Lying isn’t just a bad habit. It’s not JUST “white lies,” “little fibs,” or “just being clever.”

At its deepest core, lying is spiritual treason.

Yes, lying is a sin.

Jesus said it plainly: “When he [Satan] lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” (John 8:44)

Every time I lie, I echo the voice of Satan.

I step into his territory.

I reflect his nature instead of God’s.

That’s…really terrifying when you think about it.

The Bible also tells us: “The Lord detests lying lips, but He delights in those who are trustworthy.” (Proverbs 12:22).

Lying isn’t neutral—it grieves the heart of God.

From the very beginning, the fall of mankind ENTIRELY started with a lie.

The serpent whispered, “You will not surely die” (Genesis 3:4). That lie brought death, shame, and separation. Ever since, every lie we tell, no matter how small, carries the DNA of destruction.

So when I say I don’t lie, it’s not just about living lighter or sleeping better.

It’s really about allegiance and alignment: Who do I belong to? Whose voice do I echo?

I want my life to reflect the One who is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). I want my words to echo my Savior, not my enemy.

That’s why lying is not an option for me.

It’s not just morally wrong.

It’s spiritually wrong.

Lying aligns me with hell when I was made for heaven. I align with heaven and God’s way. The choice is stark, but it’s simple: lies bind us to Satan. Truth binds us to Christ.

And I’ve already chosen my Master…His name is Jesus.

Of course, I am not perfect - I sometimes, too quickly, lie or omit details that are inconvenient…and when I catch myself, I brace myself and apologize and admit.

If I did wrong, I own it, no excuses, no reasons.

I cannot and I wont double down on lies and neither would I perpetuate it wilfully.
