Better to Watch Our Words

You and I have to watch our words because every word we have spoken and shall speak will be judged on the Judgement Day. The Lord Jesus Christ confirms this truth, “But I say unto you, That every idle word (empty word, insincere word)that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned” (Matt 12:36-37), and “The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things” (Ps 12:3), and “…all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death” (Rev 21:8). It is so serious! God’s Word teaches us to keep our tongues from evil and deceit so that we can enjoy His blessings, “What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile” (Ps 34:12-14), and “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof” (Prov 18:21) and “Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles” (Prov 21:23).
