What Does It Mean to Be Transparent?

What Does The Bible Say About Being Transparent?

 

        Good Day Everyone!! How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  What does the Bible say about being transparent? Let’s look up the definition of the word transparent.  The definition of the word transparent means allowing light to pass through so that objects behind can be distinctly seen.

"Transparent blue water"

synonyms:		see-through, clear, translucent, pellucid, crystal clear, crystalline, limpid, glassy, glasslike, liquid; More

• Easy to perceive or detect.

"The residents will see through any transparent attempt to buy their votes"

synonyms:		obvious, explicit, unambiguous, unequivocal, clear, lucid, straightforward, plain, (as) plain as the nose on your face, apparent, unmistakable, manifest, conspicuous, patent, indisputable, self-evident;  rare transpicuous "the symbolism of this myth is transparent"

• Having thoughts, feelings, or motives that are easily perceived.

Next, how does this word define my behavior?  It defines my behavior by being accountable for my own actions.

     Transparency means to me personally is when I become responsible for my actions and behavior.  A sense of transparency inside of the Bible means that you are held responsible for your behavior.  No matter if it is good or bad.      

       However, when it comes to governing my behavior, I have to do what is right in the eyes of God.  When I think about it, I learn structure at an early age from living with my parents.  2^nd Corinthians 5:10 says in the King James Version; For we must all appear before the judgement seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.  This Bible verse specifically states that I am responsible for my actions; even from the time that I was a child until death.

        To be perfectly honest with everyone, 2^nd Corinthians 5:10 speaks of transparency.  It also speaks of judgement for everyone that we have done whether good or bad.  Transparent as a behavior is very specific in nature.

 This is something that should not be taken lightly.  Transparency is a form of blamelessness.  It is very straightforward by nature as well as precise, especially when it comes to doing certain things in our life.
