No foul language should come from your mouth, but only what is good for building up someone in need, so that it gives grace to those who hear.
Ephesians 4:29, CSB
God is our Creator and Savior, and He frees us from fear of others, giving us compassion and love for others that should make us want to speak kindly and with grace.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
Proverbs 18:21, CSB

Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
1 John 3:18, ESV
Words are important. Words save. Words are meaningless if they are not backed by truth and action, just like The Word becoming flesh to live and die for us.
Go and do likewise.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.
Proverbs 18:21, ESV
God created with His words, and He saves us by The Word. We can destroy a person with uncaring, unthinking words, but we can also help the depressed and hopeless with compassionate, careful words. Trust the Holy Spirit to give power and wisdom to our speech for good and life.
Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

Ephesians 4:29, ESV
We don’t have to fear what we sat if we’re in the habit of speaking well, and we have the Word to guide us.
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12, ESV
We fear what others may say or do to us, but God’s Word can cut much deeper and reveal more about us than anything or anyone in this world. But He also can heal and restore us better than any other.
Let us trust in Him.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
Psalm 19:14, ESV
Out God is sovereign, as shown in His power over death and life, so may we seek and honor Him in all we say and do.
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
Matthew 7:24, ESV
What is our mindset?
Are we basing our worldview on what the world tells us, that we can know truth and earn our own way based on “what feels right”?
Or do we see the world through the lens of Scripture, accepting God’s truth and that Jesus is our only way to righteousness and eternal life?
