Seven Sins God Hates Above All Others: 6 A Lying About the Truth

3/20/2022
Scripture: Ephesians 4:25-32, Proverbs 6:12ff Text: Prov. 6:19a

This morning we are going to continue our study of Proverbs 6. We will consider a phrase from verse 19a, that God hates "LYING ABOUT THE TRUTH."

These verses describe the heart and character I'd the wicked. We see that Wisdom is not surprised by human nature and our sinful tendencies. Wisdom doesn't leave us in our sin, but leads and directs us in the way we should go… what we need to do and not do if we would live a life that gives glory to God.
As Wisdom describes what God hates about the wicked, He also reveals what He loves. The opposite virtues are His desire for His people. God hates those whose hearts are bent on evil… clearly this verse applies to aspirations of the wicked. God's design and intend for mankind was to use his gifts and abilities for good. There is an impassible chasm between lying and telling the truth. God's Word is Truth. The TRUTH will set you free. Truth is reality from God's perspective. To live as though there is no truth IS A LIE!
