Honesty

Honesty

The LORD abhors dishonest scales,
but accurate weights are his delight.
Proverbs 11:1 
_____________________
Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of
the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable?
Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with
the bag of deceitful weights? For the rich men thereof are
full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken
lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
Micah 6:10-12 
_____________________
He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity,
He who rejects unjust gain
And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe;
He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed
And shuts his eyes from looking upon evil;
He will dwell on the heights,
His refuge will be the impregnable rock;
His bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.
Isaiah 33:15,16

God, Whose grace is all sufficient, be glorified!
Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift:
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God
is the object of our faith; the only faith
that saves is faith in Him.

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:1-8 NIV
