Speaking with Grace, Seasoned with Salt ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bible Verses~~~~~ Col 4:5 Walk in wisdom toward those who are without, redeeming the time. 6 Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Words of Ministry~~~~~~~~ Grace is Christ as our enjoyment and supply. Our speech should convey this grace to others. The word that builds up others always ministers such grace to the hearers. For our speech to be with grace means that Christ is expressed through our words. This means that our words should be the expression and utterance of Christ. Every word must be the expression of Christ as grace. Our speech should also be seasoned with salt. Salt makes things agreeable and pleasant to the taste. Speech seasoned with salt keeps us at peace with one another (Mark 9:50). If our words are with grace and are salted, they will cause things to be agreeable, and they will also arouse the proper taste in others. If we are such persons, we shall be those who redeem the time and seize every available opportunity to minister life. Furthermore, our words will not be a cause of trouble. On the contrary, through the thorough dealing of the Lord, whatever proceeds out of our mouth will be a word of grace seasoned with salt. Such a word will make things agreeable and pleasant to the taste. May we all learn these things and practice them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (c) 2007 Living Stream Ministry.
