Col 4:5-6 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. I will only look at the first part of verse 5 (then we will look at the second half next day). Continuing from Brother Tshepos note of Not damaging the gospel message with how we conduct ourselves----This point is imperative hitting right at the core of WHAT IS IN OUR HEARTS asking : Do we really want to see people saved.? Do we really want the Spirit of God to hoover over all the unbelievers? Or do we like Cain kill our brothers by watching them die or maybe even helping them to die..? Do we share the Goodnews with our fellow-man or do we assume they have Heard..? Do we pray for them or do say they can pray for themselves? Put on a bigger ear for this (or get a hearing aid): The bible says Walk in wisdom toward them that are without (or lit:...Those out/out-siders)... This verse has some conclusions in itself lets look at them: 1. You have wisdom in which you can walk---The scripture is telling us that as believers wisdom is abounding in us and we can choose to walk in it or not. ( 1Co 1:30 But of him [GOD] are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us WISDOM....). 2. There are people that are without wisdom/There are poeple that are outside---many people OUT there lack wisdom (faith, Hope, God and so on), therefore #show and teach them wisdom by the way you WALK (this is the same word used in Gal 5:16 which reads This I say then WALK in the spirit and you will not fulfil the lust of the flesh again in Ep 5:2 WALK in Love.. again in Col 2:6 As you have recieved Christ, WALK ye in Him It it quite clear that this WALK is not just a mere walk ---This WALK seem to be something we have to INTEND ( intentionally and voluntary invoke yourself), to consciously DO... It takes us knowing that WE HAVE WISDOM, WE ARE LIGHT, WE HAVE THE LOVE OF GOD IS DEPOSITED IN US and so on. Knowledge of these things will Fuel our faith to perform For Faith comes by Hearing, Hearing the Word of God The reason why, I started by saying this issue HITS right at core of our the hearts is because all these things (the above mentioned) are not done by man--IT IS THE WORKING OF GOD, IT IS GRACE! Nor can we claim to that It is by our strength or our might..? NO WE CAN NOT! All these is the working of God. And This truth my fellows calls for something very important: A question, A plea, Command: 》》PRAYER Brothers and Sisters Do we PRAY..? ---For All these can ONLY be done by Those who PRAY: kneeling down every-morning to beg for mercy, grace, wisdom, and a word for the day. We do not know what lies ahead in the day, therefore this SHOULD cause us to bow nd drink from the well of life --JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD --And RUN desperately to the throne of Grace...This is should cause us --Beat our chest with teary eyes sayin Fill my mouth with good tidings oh Father, fill me-- God Bless us! May God open your eyes to see and comprehend This ---in Christ, Amen
