Honest and Sincere

Psalm 24 : 4-5 - " He that hath clean hands and a pure heart , who does not submit himself to the fraud , and that is not perjury . He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God who saves him . "
What are the criteria that often arise in jobs work ?The most common are three: education , experience and age limit . There are a few more that are also frequently arise are able to work together as a team and willing to be placed wherever the company needs , as well as mastery of other skills such as using multiple computers and languages ​​. If I were hiring , so I will not make the main requirement that all but honest and sincere . Why ? Since this is a human quality that more and more scarce .
Honesty and sincerity no longer be important . Corruption and fraud occurs in every line of work from top to bottom . People were no longer sincere in doing anything but disinterested . The work depends paid , if not paid is not done , in short it all depends on money . In addition to rare , sincere and honest is the quality which for me can not be bought with money . Others can be learned over time .
Nowadays people are honest and sincere it is considered strange or even stupid . People tend to think short and increasingly concerned with worldly affairs . What David said beforehand : "The fool says in his heart : " There is no GOD . "Foul deeds and disgust them , no one who does good . " Psalm 14 : 1 , is now carried out more and more . People no longer think of accountability before the Lord someday . Or if they know that GOD exists , but they think that God will not punish because they form a misunderstanding of God 's love and great patience and long .
Even this form of spiritual illusion has been alluded to in the Bible . "You are wearied the Lord with your words . Yet you say : " How have we wearied Him ? "By the way you may think : " Everyone who does evil is good in the eyes of the LORD to the people who says he is pleased or otherwise, in which is GOD punish ? " Malachi 2 : 17Do not we see many people with such a mindset these days ?
He that hath clean hands ( honestly ) and a pure heart ( sincerely ) , which are not tempted to cheating , that is pleasing to the Lord . Clean hands , meaning away from other forms of fraud , cheating away and not easily tempted by the benefits through the wrong path . It means to be pure of heart is not contaminated / polluted by a variety of ulterior motives in doing something , no strings attached , no political interest in the deed , clean heart . To those who like this will also be rewarded thanks to the justice who saved directly from the Lord . This is the great reward promised the Lord for people who live an honest and sincere .
Love the Lord desired level as containing the virtues that include both of these things . Look at the details presented Paul . " Love is patient, love is kind , and he was not jealous . He does not boast and is not proud. He did not do that is not polite and not self-seeking . , Is not provoked and did not save the mistakes of others . Does not rejoice in injustice , but rejoices in the truth . bears all things , believes all things , hopes all things , endures all things . " 1 Corinthians 13 : 4-7
In love that there are forms of life with a pure heart , full of sincerity and honesty . It means that if we claim to live in the love of God , both of these things were supposed to emanate from our lives . How could people who are dishonest and insincere still dare claim has love in him ? And how can people who do not have claim to know the love of GOD ? " Whoever does not love does not know GOD , because GOD is love . " 1 John 4 : 8
We must always remember that everything that comes from the Lord . We need not fear shortages and fear of the future so feel the need to take actions that dishonest or fraudulent in order to live . We do not need to feel jealous of other people , and should be able to learn to put the interests of others above self-interest . James warned " For where there is jealousy and selfishness , there is disorder and every evil practice . " James 3 : 16
We must always avoid cheating that mencermarkan our hearts . Know that although we may succeed in fooling people , but God will always see all our actions . And the Lord said : " And there is no creature hidden from His sight , but all things are naked and exposed to the eyes of HIM , the HIM to us must give account . " Hebrews 4 : 13
The Lord also says explicitly : " Were they ashamed when they committed abomination? But they do not feel embarrassed and do not know their stains . Therefore they shall fall among those who fall , they will stumble and fall on their time punished , says the LORD . " Jeremiah 8 : 12
One might assume that God does not punish them at the moment and thought that they were safe from punishment . The bad guys may be smart to deceive people , or spend their money to bribe law enforcers to escape from the law . Now might be off , but at a later sentence when the Lord will come nonetheless remain . Will come a time where all must be accounted for before the Lord , and there can not be no dodging again. Moment of interest in the mortal world with a prioritized eternal life ? It is certainly a very foolish choice .
The world is becoming increasingly worse , but we believe people should not bandwagon like it . The world shortage of people who are sincere and honest , we have to show that His people are there in this world could be different with sincerity and honesty as part of the true Christian life .
Therefore we could have keep your sincerity and honesty . Whatever the reason , whatever the cost , Learn to always believe in God , His love and live according to His will . God provides blessings for people living with sincerity , honesty and purity of heart . " Blessed are the pure in heart , for they shall see GOD . " Matthew 5 : 8
This promise of God himself . " Verily GOD is good for those who are pure in heart , for they were clean heart . " Psalm 73 : 1
The world may be looking at you in a cynical , look at you as a strange creature , ridicule or laugh at the honesty and sincerity as a stupid thing . Leave . Not what people say that matters, but how the Lord looks down our lives that are important . God promises blessings and justice for people living with clean hands and a pure heart .
Enjoy the goodness of God through holy living where sincerity and honesty play a role in it . Both are part of the integrity of the must-have children of the Lord . God can bless you and protect the abundant life of every person who walks according to His will, without you having to cheat and commit a crime to be successful .
Susahkah honest living ? In theory it easy for us to say no , but in practice it is difficult . Honest man will lose many opportunities because they can not follow the flow of work in place . There is a friend that his career stalled just because choosing to live honestly . He refused to go along with enjoying the rest of the budget funds in a government agency . Still mending if indeed the rest , but throughout the year they use the budget as small as possible so the rest is great . For refusing to participate , he was marginalized by peers and leaders. This is just one small example of dishonest mindset that happens everywhere .
We must be smart to follow the flow in order to survive in a career position , lying , covering up the truth or go commit fraud . The longer honesty is increasingly becoming a rare commodity but always taught everywhere but in fact increasingly marginalized . In the eyes of the world may not like it , but remember that the slightest honesty that has a very high value in the eyes of the Lord .
In the context of Christianity , honesty is something that should be done by believers . Benefits provided by the Lord for honest people not playing magnitude . Look at this verse : " People who live in the truth , who speaks honestly , who refused to profit results extortion, shook his hand , so please do not accept bribes , which covered his ears , so do not listen to the plan the shedding of blood , which closes his eyes , lest the evil , he was like a man who lived safely in high places , fortified stronghold on the hill is a stone ; bread will be supplied drinking water is assured . " Isaiah 33 : 15-16
Look how great the value of honesty in the eyes of the Lord . Maybe in this world we could suffer losses or even get in trouble even as it decided to be honest . But it is not a problem because later in my next life eternal all will be counted as righteousness in the sight of GOD .
In Psalm 64 : 11 says : " The righteous will rejoice in the Lord and in His shelter ; every honest man will boast . " At this time we might lose due to decide to be honest , but later in time we will rejoice and be thankful for having made ​​the right decision .
What if we have to accept the consequences if you choose to be treated unfairly honest ? Suppose that a test . Like a test , to deal with it can be tough . But the seriousness and persistence in the face we will determine the final outcome . As for the test of honesty , there are times when you feel treated unfairly , been honest instead blame and hurt . Faced with a tough exam , keep focused foresight , to an eternal life that you will live someday . Not what is mortal in this world that is important but what you will in the judgment of the Lord .
James said : "My brethren , count it all joy when you fall into various trials , for you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance . Perseverance and let it acquire the ripe fruit , that ye may be perfect and complete and lacking in nothing . " James 1 : 2-4
Exams will foster perseverance , and from there we can produce ripe fruit . Our character will be enhanced through the exams . Exam is an opportunity for us to rise to a higher level , and therefore we should be happy when it gets a chance to test . Make cheating a moment may give many advantages , but it's all just momentary and ephemeral .
For an eternal life , cheating will never take advantage even cause harm . Do not forget that the Lord had said that He would not turn a blind eye on anything that we do in our lives . " In fact, He rewards him accordingly , and make every person having appropriate behavior . " Job 34 : 11 . Whether or not it will bring its own rewards or consequences . Whether or not the reward that we receive will depend on how the way we live .
If it honestly makes you suffer now , hold on. Then the Lord told : " Do everything without complaining or arguing " Philippians 2 : 14
This also includes our commitment to maintain honesty and loyalty by not complaining to the consequences of whatever we experience in this world . Why is that ? Because the Word of God and then said : " so you not beraib and no stained , as GOD children without blemish in the midst of a generation crooked and perverse , so you shine among them like stars in the world . " Philippians 2 : 15
As children of GOD and not the children of the world we ought to show the truth and dare to be different . We must not stray current bandwagon of crooked generation because of its status as our children GOD . In the end we will see that our struggle against honesty will not be in vain . Young or old , whoever we are , hold on to the principle of honesty as high as possible and do not mortgaged it for any reason .
To those of you who are young , it was equally important honesty to run . Look at the message of Paul to Timothy : " Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young . Be an example to the believers in speech , in life , in love, in faithfulness and in purity . " 1 Timothy 4 : 12
Although still young we still expected to be a role model in every way . We live in a society that would justify any means , living with double standards and that no longer respects truth and honesty . Although you are young , start showing the values ​​of honesty and truth , do not change it to anything , and see that in time every honest man will be glad to pick the fruit . World can then deny honesty , in the eyes of the Lord no matter how small it would be very valuable .

Bless the LORD JESUS ​​.
