Meaning of Honesty

The dictionary meaning is “cheat less person”. Whereas in the Bible the root meaning of the word honesty in “the sun’s ray” – “judged by sunlight”. Also may mean –

Truth

Psalm 51:6

Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place.

Integrity

Proverbs 11:3

The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.

Sincerity 

2 Corinthians 1:12

Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrity and godly sincerity. We have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom but on God’s grace.

No Lie

Revelation 1:5

And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.

  To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,

Walk in Light

1 John 1:7

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

Psalm 3:8

From the LORD comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people.

Thoughts on This Verse....

God is The Great Deliverer! That's his chosen expertise. Whether it was delivering the Israelites through the Red Sea from Pharaoh's army ages ago, or it is rescuing a sinner from sin and death through Christ today, our God is The Great Deliverer! So let's use today to repeatedly pray for people who need God's deliverance from sin, death, disease, family conflict, addiction, financial concerns, legal matters, mental illness, abuse, and temptation.
