Does Your Faith Embrace Honesty And Boldness?
Then the apostles were persecuted because of their faith. How is your stand with the Lord?
Honesty
Honesty is truthfulness. An honest person has the habit of making accurate, trustworthy statements about life, self, others and God. Therefore an honest person represents himself just as he is and tells others the truth about themselves. Honesty is not “expressing everything that goes through your mind.”
That’s transparency, and a person can be honest without being transparent. However, no one can be consistently honest without a commitment to the truth. An honest person will, at times, hurt someone’s feelings, but that does not mean that dishonesty is preferable.
Honesty should always be accompanied by gentleness. An honest person is motivated by love, not by an obsession with relaying accurate information (Proverbs 19:22). Above all, the honest person is concerned with telling the truth about God and fostering the spiritual growth of other people (Ephesians 4:29). Those who follow Jesus, the Truth (John 14:6), will speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15).
