Matthew12:36-37 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgement.
For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.
James 1:26 If anyone among you thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this one's
religion is useless.
Matthew 15:10 When he had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, Hear and understand. Not what goes into the mouth
defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.
Matthew 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. For out of the heart proceed
evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies. These are the things which defile a man
, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.
There is no separation of cursing, swearing, or profane words. Our God sees them all as not good and a sin. As followers of Jesus we should not want any word that does not glorify Him to come from our mouths at all. If Jesus is in our hearts and we are made new in Him and He is the one who takes all darkness and sin from us why would we want to put anything into our mouths but praise for Him. We must be careful of what we take in, what we hear, and what we say. We are to be an example of Jesus and He did not go around swearing whether in anger or just joking. His heart was pure and out of it came the words of God The Father. Even when He overturned the tables in the temple, he was angry yet was using God's word. How many of us can say we are like that? Not many and that includes myself as well.
We need to watch what we say and how we say it. If we are truly right with God we will strive to let our words be words of kindness and love not words that are fowl, filled with hatred, anger and bitterness. God commands us to never take his name in vain, but he also says for every idle word we will answer to him for it. This includes swearing, making fun of others, name calling, using your words to bring down instead of build up, using swear words whether in anger or in a joke. We as Christians need to be an example of the Love of Jesus to this world. This coming year lets examine our hearts and make an effort to use our mouths only to spread the love of God. If we get angry and we all do, lets stop walk away, take a deep breath, and say a silent prayer that God help us to control our mouths. More than ever this world needs to see Jesus and it starts with us.
God bless you all and very happy and blessed new year to you all!
Good stuff....I've always separated the types but as you say...They are all rotten speaking which will bring rotten results...
Words Control Your Life
The Bible teaches that words, especially ones
you say, are important.
Proverbs 18:20-21 (CJB)
20 A person’s belly will be filled with the fruit of his mouth;
with what his lips produce he will be filled.
21 The tongue has power over life and death;
those who indulge it must eat its fruit.
Isaiah 59:21 (CJB)
21 “And as for me,” says
Adonai,
“this is my covenant with them:
my Spirit, who rests on you,
and my words which I put in your mouth
will not depart from your mouth
or from the mouth of your children,
or from the mouth of your children’s children,
now or ever,” says
Adonai.
What You Say Is What You Get
Mark 11:23 (CJB)
23 Yes! I tell you that whoever does not doubt in his heart but trusts that what he says will happen can say to this mountain, ‘Go and throw yourself into the sea!’ and it will be done for him.
Jesus said that you will have whatever you say -- dependent on believing and not doubting.
Think of that. What you say determines what you get in life. It did for the children of Israel. And the Bible says the things which happened to them are lessons for us.
Numbers 14:28 (CJB)
28 Tell them this: ‘As surely as I live,
Adonai swears, as surely as you have spoken in my ears, I will do this to you:
Proverbs 6:2 (CJB)
2 you have been snared by the words of your mouth,
caught by the words of your own mouth.
Control Your Words
1 Peter 4:11 (CJB)
11 if someone speaks, let him speak God’s words; if someone serves, let him do so out of strength that God supplies; so that in everything God may be glorified through Yeshua the Messiah — to him be glory and power forever and ever.
Amen.
When you speak what the Bible says, you are speaking the very words of God. Anything contrary to what the Bible says, should never be spoken by a Christian.
Ephesians 4:29 (CJB)
29 Let no harmful language come from your mouth, only good words that are helpful in meeting the need, words that will benefit those who hear them.
You are responsible for what you say. If you cannot say something good, the Bible is clear: keep quiet.
Matthew12:36-37 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgement.
For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.
