What does the Bible teach about the consequences of lying?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that lying produces temporary gains but ultimately leads to lasting condemnation.

In Proverbs 12:19, it states, 'The lip of truth shall be established forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment.' This verse underscores the eternal significance of truth compared to the fleeting nature of falsehood. While a deceitful tongue may provide temporary benefits, it can never lead to lasting satisfaction or acceptance from God. In contrast, truth brings forth righteousness and is rooted in the character of Christ, enduring beyond this life and into eternity.
