Matthew 12:33-37 reveals that words are powerful and they reveal our true heart. Most importantly, what we say about Jesus, which reveals our true heart, is of utmost significance.
What does it take to be a good steward of the life God grants us and to use words that reveal a sensitive heart towards God? You need three hope-filled anchors, each with a corresponding action relating to our words.
1. A God-given faith in God's soveriegnty that lead you to trust God to bear in and through you the fruit of good works.
2. A realistic grasp of man's accountability that inspires you to train your tongue to bring forth good words that bless God and others.
3. A firm commitment to the complete Bible, taken in context, experienced in community, which impels you to treasure God's good word above your own.
These ought to provide ample incentive to speak what is good and right and true with regard to the identity, works and preeminence of the Lord Jesus Christ.
