"Are There Any Liars in Heaven?"

From: Messages of God's Love: 1959

One day a little girl who lived in a beautiful house was out walking with her teacher. She was very quiet and sad that morning, and presently said to her teacher, “Are there any liars in Heaven?”

“No, my dear; the Bible says that ‘all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone.’ (Rev. 21:8⁸But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Revelation 21:8).) But why do you ask me?”

The child burst into tears, and sobbed, “Because I have told Mother a lie, and am afraid I shall never get to heaven now.” But her kind teacher, who was a Christian, was able to tell her how Jesus died for sinners; how He took the punishment our sins deserved; and His precious blood cleanseth from all sin. And the little girl came to her mother and confessed her sin; she received forgiveness for Christ’s sake, and from that time she was a new child altogether.

“Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” Is. 55:6, 7.
