Many people seem honest. They say the right words, but a closer look reveals their unfaithfulness (v. 6). Our children are like mirrors, reflecting our attitudes in life (v. 7). We need to be careful then as to which ideas and opinions we pass on to them. A human judge does not allow lies or evil behavior in his court (v. 8). In the same way, God punishes all our evil actions (Rev. 20:13-15). Nobody can lie to God. He knows everything (I John 3:20). No one is without sin (v. 9). We are in constant need of cleansing, moment by moment (I John 1:9). Unequal measures testify to a lack of integrity (v. 10). 15 ounces will never make a pound. One evidence of a person’s spiritual and moral values is how honest he is in his business dealings.
Application
Lord, help me to always be honest with you and in my dealings with every man!
