- If we who follow Jesus are devoted to what is true, why would these issues be of concern?
- Leviticus 19:11-18 is a good summary of the problem of disobeying the ten commandments, and not obeying what it true. What is the effect on family, community, and church of misusing the truth?
- The early church needed solid instruction on living truthfully. Read Ephesians 4:17-5:7. Ephesians 4:21 reminds us that truth is found in Jesus. What words does Paul use to describe living apart from the truth of Jesus?
- What does Jesus provide for his followers that changes their lives so they can live truthfully?
- What are some of the promises and blessings of living truthfully?
