God protects a person's name and reputation in the 8th Commandment.

Addicts have all too often sought to destroy someone else's reputation by lying about the person/people who confront the addict out of love about his/her addiction. Instead of taking the person's word's in the kindest possible way, the addict goes out of his/her way to ruin the other person's reputation as a means of self-preservation.

Listen to what Jesus has done to restore our reputation before our Heavenly Father by what He has done to take away our sins.
