"Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another. Do not swear falsely by my name and so profane the name of your God. I am The LORD." Leviticus 19:11-12 (NIV)
The Lord God spoke to Moses and told him to tell the people to be holy because The Lord their God was holy. (Leviticus 19:1-2) They were to deal and speak honestly with one another. They were not to steal from, lie to, or deceive each other. They were not to curse each other, or put stumbling blocks in front of each other. They were to obey all of The Lord's decrees. (Leviticus 19:37)
Believers today are to live by a different standard that the rest of the world. As people of God we are to speak and behave in a Christ-like manner. We are not to be dishonest with one another, nor are we to deceive one another. The world will know that we are children of God by the way in which we treat one another. (John 13:35) We are to speak, act, and live holy because The God that we serve is holy. Let us pray that the mind which is in Christ Jesus would also be in us. (Philippians 2:5)
