Colossians 4:5-6 New International Version (NIV)
5 Be wise in the way you act toward
outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6 Let your
conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you
may know how to answer everyone.
Jesus warned about our giving account for every idle word (Matthew
12:36-37). Paul takes it a step further and emphasizes how important this is
with those who don't know Christ. We want to seize every opportunity when
around those who are not Christians and show kindness, care, and control in the
way we use our speech. Someone's eternal destiny may be resting on our
conversations with them.
Thought for today:
Are my words richly seasoned with “sage” advice or “salty” with anger?
