Essential Truth



Zechariah 8:16-17   
16 These are the things you shall do: speak each man the truth to his neighbor; give judgment in your gates for truth, justice, and peace; 17 Let none of you think evil in your heart against your neighbor; and do not love a false oath. For all these are things that I hate,’ says the Lord.”
Ephesians 4:25    Therefore, putting away lying, “Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another.

Truth to all is essential, and seeking peace and fairness are brothers and sisters of grace.  This means we judge situations and others with this grace.  Letting our yes be yes and no be no show good intentions to others and honor God.  Doing what pleases Him in keeping the second greatest commandment is why we speak straight and walk true.
