Let your ‘yes’ be yes, and ‘no’ be no. There are no two ways about it. A Christian’s communication is not just a reflection of his/her intent, but more importantly their upholding of the God given standard.
“”Thou shalt not lie…”” is in the same line. So also “”out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks…””
What we utter out, are not just words. Nay, they reflect what we believe, and much more than that, whom we believe in.
The God of all creation is always honest. The deceiver, and the father of lies, is the evil one. The words we speak declares on whose side are we.
Beware, words mean much much than what they are intended to. Guard yourself, and glorify God through your mouth.
