“But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall
speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words
thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned”
Matthew 12:36–37
Our
opening scripture expresses the paramount importance of words as taught by the
Lord Jesus. Interpreting His words literally, He said, a man will go to heaven
or hell because of what he said or didn’t say; but beyond that, your life is
the character of your words. If a man’s words are wholesome, his life would be
wholesome as well. This is why you must watch what you say!
Don’t
make careless statements for they’ll produce results for you, and never joke
against the Word of God. This is why you must only say what you mean, and mean
what you say.
Remember, God holds you
accountable for the things you say. So build your life with your words. Your
life can’t be different from the words you speak. Therefore make it a conscious
exercise to store God’s Word in your heart, for out of the abundance of the
heart, the mouth speaks (Matthew 12:34). As God’s Word dwells richly in
your heart, you’ll develop and speak faith-filled words.
