Words of Corruption or Grace
Continuing to describe the “new self,” Paul teaches us that we should not let any “corrupting talk” come out of our mouths. What is corrupting talk? Do you ever reflect on whether or not you are speaking words of corruption? By contrast, Paul says every word we speak should be “good for building up” and “give grace to those who hear.” Living as the new self means recognizing that our words can and should be conduits of grace. (Scripture: Ephesians 4:25-32)
