    His honesty was important because he freed people from slavery and he said what he wanted to say not what the people wanted to hear.

    Honesty is a big thing it will set you free even when your helping a friend

    Honesty is very important,because you can earn your trust with other people
    and it's easy for you to say things so that people,can believe what you say.

    honesty is important because to make friends you must not lie to them. Like if they tell you something that they don't want any one else. You do tell other that's not being a friend or being honest.

    Being honest is a very important quality, when you gain trust you earn responsibility. Not only is it one of the ten commandments but you should be honest so people can trust you.

    Honesty is important because 1. No one is going to be friends with you if you just lie all the time. No one wants to be lied to, especially if your lie is to someone that deeply cares about you. 2. When you lie your not only lying to a human being, but also to your Lord. And 3. How is anyone ever going to believe you if you lie all the time? No one will trust you and you'll most likely have no friends.

    Honesty is very VERY IMPORTANT because if you need to know what happen to your car that has a broken widow and there is two kids you want to know which one of them did it and the one who did it is not telling the truth.

    Honesty is important because if you are not honest to people how can you expect them to be honest to you. Honesty is a big part of your every day life you should start at a young age because when you gt older you have to be honest at your job. God said in the Bible that honesty is the most important thing. It is also one of the fruits of the spirit. HONESTY IS IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Honesty is important because if you aren't honest people wont trust you. Also nobody will want to tell you secrets because they might ask you to keep it under you sleeve and you say yes when you tell someone else about what you heard. It also is one of the fruits of the spirit and those are important. HONESTY IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Happy Birthday President Abraham Lincoln, (AKA) Honest Abe.
    Honesty is important because without it we would be lost. If your not honest your not telling the truth.
    Honesty is how you keep friends, how you can be promoted in your job, also how you earn peoples trust. Without honesty you wont have friends, peoples trust, and you wont be promoted.
    If we are not being honest and telling the truth we are sinning against God, because God tells us to be honest and to not lie and when your telling a lie your not being honest.
    That's why it's important to be honest.

    Honesty is important, especially when it comes to confession, never lie, always tell the truth, and again never lie. Especially to your parents.

    Because being honest is obeying anybody in authority.
