Vital Step to a Radiant Faith-Speak Truthfully

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year to Shine, today’s Vital Step to a Radiant Faith is to speak truthfully to our neighbor.

God is calling us to a new attitude where we are transformed in true righteousness and holiness. Jesus told believers that we are the salt of the earth. Just as salt flavors food, we are called to flavor this world with the Gospel.

Speaking truthfully to our neighbor is one of the ways we can represent Jesus. Honesty builds trust and stronger relationships on a foundation of truth. Proverbs 24:26 compares an honest answer to a kiss on the lips. The general idea there is that honesty is pleasant and brings people together.

Ephesians 4:25 says, “Each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.”

Speaking truthfully to our neighbor is a Vital Step to a Radiant Faith that makes a difference in our world.
