(Matthew 12:37 NKJV) “For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Our spoken words are a very serious thing. What we say has a huge impact on us and those around us.
Jesus taught in the verse above that we will be judged for our words and we will either be justified by them or condemned for them.
This is truly eye-opening and convicting, because every single one of us has spoken things that would have been better left unsaid.
There is not a lot that can be said to expound on this. It’s pretty black and white, with no hidden meanings or deeply spiritual symbolism.
So let’s heed what Jesus is teaching us and guard our hearts, because it’s what is in our hearts that causes the words to come out of our mouths.
God, give us a clean heart and renew a right spirit within us, that we may speak words to be justified by.
