Colossians 4:6 (NIV) "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."
Today’s Scripture Lesson
In an age of opinions and instant reactions, Colossians 4:6 reminds us to speak with grace. Our conversations should not only reflect kindness but also be flavorful and wise—seasoned with salt. Grace softens the heart; salt adds value, preservation, and clarity.
As Christ’s ambassadors, our words carry weight in shaping how others perceive the Gospel. This doesn’t mean sugar-coating truth, but delivering it with compassion and respect. Grace-filled speech listens first, speaks wisely, and builds bridges, not barriers.
This kind of communication begins with a heart surrendered to Christ. When we are rooted in His love and truth, our words naturally reflect His character.
How to Apply This Scripture Passage to Your Life
- Speak With Purpose: Ask yourself, “Will my words reflect Jesus in this conversation?”
- Season Your Speech: Don’t just aim to be kind—be thoughtful, honest, and wise.
- Pray for Discernment: Seek God’s help to know what to say, how to say it, and when to speak.
