There are two languages in the world: lies and truth. The first language – the native tongue – of every man is the language of lies. When the Father of Lies was our father, "lies" was the only language we knew.
Before I became a Christian, I – like a lot of men – would often lie even if the truth could have served me better. It was my native tongue – a language that flowed freely from my lower nature.
When we receive Christ we become bilingual. We learn a second language – the language of truth. But what happens to anyone who doesn’t regularly practice speaking their second language? They revert to their native tongue.
If we do not abide in Christ day by day, if we do not regularly practice our second language, we will revert to our native tongue.
All men either live by the truth or by a good lie. A good lie is probably only one or two degrees off course. Otherwise it would be rejected.
So what language will you choose to speak today?
