scripture

 

1 Peter 3:8-12

Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. For, "Whoever would love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from deceitful speech. He must turn from evil and do good; he must seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."

 

En Espanol, 1 Pedro 3:8-12

Speak the truth and shame the Devil.

thought

 

Jesus called the Devil, the Father of Lies.  (John 8:44)  The Psalmist called God, the God of Truth.  (Psalm 31:5)  Therefore, when we choose to speak lies, we are choosing to identify with the Devil and our sin nature.  However, when we choose to speak the truth, we are choosing to identify ourselves with God as new creations.
