Colossians 4:5-6 (NKJV) 5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Who are those \u201cwho are outside\u201d? The unbelieving, unsaved people that we know and encounter on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Interacting with unbelievers can be challenging for all of us from time to time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Sometimes it\u2019s effortless. Other times, especially if a particular person is boisterous, knowing what to say or not to say to them can be tough.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We always need God\u2019s wisdom, leaning on the Holy Spirit to know just how to receive them and interact with\u00a0them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We have some solid counsel directly from God\u2019s word, in the scripture above; speak with grace. Not harshly, condescendingly or with insults.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Seasoned with salt; speaking truth, even if the truth isn\u2019t necessarily wanted by that person, standing firm on that truth in the confidence of God\u2019s Spirit, but with the love of God always at the forefront of what we say.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That you may know how to answer each one; seeking God\u2019s wisdom each and every time, not just answering quickly, based on emotion or human intellect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Things can sometimes get heated when dealing with unbelievers. And if we\u2019re not careful, we can get caught up in our emotions, lashing out at them with verbal poison that will not accurately reflect God\u2019s grace.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is very easy to get drawn into with some people. But it\u2019s something we need to learn how to handle on a person-by-person basis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

God\u2019s love isn\u2019t mushy. It does not compromise truth. It exudes grace, but never at the cost of letting lies go unexposed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So, let\u2019s learn to walk that delicate line where truth is spoken and God\u2019s grace is made known by our words and our attitudes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
