The questioner: How can a person be truthful with Allah so that he may be among the truthful ones?
Answer:
He is truthful with Allah as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: he is truthful and seeks truthfulness. He remains truthful in his words and actions with Allah and with people, and he seeks truthfulness.

O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with information, investigate
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن جَاءَكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُواO you who have believed, when you go forth [to fight] in the cause of Allah, investigate
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَتَبَيَّنُوا
