Honesty = Integrity
Integrity = strong moral principles; moral uprightness
When we are honest it is not just what we say, it's how we live.
Be Honest about this and it will tell us things about ourselves that will help us to work toward honesty and integrity.
May all our close relationships be based on the word of God not on the cultural Christianity of our day. Cultural Christianity is destructive and deceptive, authentic Christianity is full of peace and joy as well as integrity.
2 Corinthians 8:21
"21 for we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of other people."
2 Timothy 2:15
"15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth."
Colossians 3:9
"9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices."
The best witness we can be to the unsaved as born-again believers is to have a high degree of honesty and integrity. If we do not have these character qualities then it would be best to keep our mouths shut rather than speak of Christ as they watch us walk against Him.
Just Saying!
