God’s Word reminds followers of Jesus, that cursing is the language of the devil, and should never come out of their mouths. [Spirituality & Religion]
Popular movies and TV are responsible for causing society to except foul language as the “norm“. But for those who say they love God, it should not be a part of their language or character, as a new creation in Christ.
Colossians 3:8-10: “But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices, and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.”
Ephesians 5:4: “Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead, let there be thanksgiving.”
Matthew chapter 15, verse 11: “It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” Many would do good, to bridle their tongue. You say you love God? Blessings and cursing should never come from the same mouth.
“Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue, keeps himself out of trouble.” (Proverbs 21:23) How great a forest is set ablaze, by such a small fire!
He has transformed us into new creatures by the Holy Spirit. I see way too many, who say they love God, yet you’d never know it by their actions or language, including abbreviations for curse words in sentences. God said that should not be so. Besides that, it is a very bad witness for Christ, and confuses people as to who and what you really are.
As followers of Jesus, and a new creation in him, we are representatives of him. Everything we say and do, reflects on our Lord. We either are, or aren’t, a child of God. Let’s not make him ashamed.
We are accountable for everything we say and do for Christ, and on his behalf. Let us represent him, and what he has done for us, in the most positive way. Jesus gave his very best for us. How can we give him less?
Let’s show him just how much we love him, in both word and deed. Not because we have to… But because we want to. It is our honor and privilege to do so.
God knows that like all others, we are still subject to sinning, since we’re still on this earth, yet we are thankfully saved by grace...our sins forgiven upon receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior. We need to act like it. He knows full well, we’re not perfect, yet we CAN live by His Word, out of love and respect for Him. If you claim to love Jesus, how many people will you turn off, by your mouth and actions? Please keep that in mind. As I mentioned, we are not perfect, but when that one sin keeps popping up time and again, that’s no excuse. That’s a deliberate, chosen decision to sin against God...not repentance. When it’s repentance, it’s a sorrow your heart won’t soon forget, nor want to ever repeat. “Ye shall know them by their fruit.”
