Full Of Grace
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And
pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may
proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may
proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders;
make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of
grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
Colossians 4:2-6
Paul saw the need for us believers to check our speech –
especially when talking to those who are not Christians. We are told to make
sure our speech is filled with grace. He wanted or speech to be graceful,
reflecting the beauty of our Savior. And it must be inviting to others. Talking
with the right tone to unbelievers is vital to our ability to witness to them.
Every time we speak, our heart is on
parade.
