There are some people who use the Name of the Lord, and also call on the Name of the Lord, but they lie. There is no way that a True Believer can live by telling lies. That means that they are not "true" at all if they tell lies. The Bible tells us that Jesus is the Truth, and as True Believers we need to tell the Truth.
