Death and life are in the power of the tongue..Proverbs 18:21
We live in a world with many voices. Many of the voices being heard today are spewing out the toxic language of death.
It is very important that Christian voices sound out with life. The voice of Jesus should be proclaimed loudly in our own lives, and in the lives of those around us.
Why?
A Christian belonging to Jesus is to be an ambassador for Him. He came to earth to give life.
Christians have the opportunity to promote life today on planet earth. Amidst the darkness of the world around us, children of God can affect the very atmosphere in a life-giving way.
How?
By speaking the love language of the Father God.
When Jesus was on earth, God in the flesh, He spoke words in perfect alignment with the Father's will. Jesus loved, Jesus healed, Jesus blessed.
Words are powerful. Words spoken to people around us will nurture life or death in that person's life.
A life-word is one that is motivated by love, is positive, and full of grace....these words heal and bless. Words of hate, negativity, criticism, and judgement, are death-words (gossip fits this category)....these words wound and curse.
Jesus was the first Son of God. He is our example. Let us mimic His lovely voice.
