SEASONED WORDS

“Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.” (Colossians 4:6)

This text is a guidance given in the context of a believer’s conversation with those who are outside the Christian faith. However, the underlying principle in this verse has universal relevance for how and why believers speak, and it is valid in every context within which they do communicate – whether speaking to fellow Christians or to non-Christians.
