“Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.”
Colossians 4:5-6 KJV
Paul teaches us to, “Walk in the wisdom of God as you live before the unbelievers, and make it your duty to make Him known. Let every word you speak be drenched with grace and tempered with truth and clarity. For then you will be prepared to give a respectful answer to anyone who asks about your faith.” Living before unbelievers is likened to living in the wilderness as the children of Israel did. During this earthly time, making Jesus known is our duty as we give it all we’ve got. Our conversation is seasoned with salt by being compassionate, friendly, clear and making people thirsty for truth. We don’t spoil our chances to touch others with the Word through a lack of wisdom. We redeem the time by making most of every opportunity, by making people know the truth that sets them free - that Christ has redeemed them! Amen!
