Why do Christians tell the truth?

Because the Bible says we should put away lying. Christians know that lying is an evil thing and they are not going to have anything to do with it.

Wherefore PUTTING AWAY LYING, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 
                                               Ep5Ephesians 4:25
