Truthfulness

Someone who is truthful always tells what really happened. They never lie, even if lying could get them out of trouble. In the Bible in John 14:6 Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

Jesus doesn’t just tell the truth—He is truth. He is your Best Friend, and you can always trust Him because He and the Bible will never tell a lie.
