We should live a Christ-like life as Christians by which people will get to know who Jesus is. Many times we forget that we carry the image of living God in our words and deeds.
Being a follower of Jesus Christ we must separate ourselves from the teachings of this world. Instead, we need to follow Jesus till our death.
The word of God always teaches us to be careful concerning what we speak. Our words can cause blessings to others at the same time they can bring curses to us as well. So we have to know how to speak and where to Speak. As we read the Bible scriptures we will come to know God and the importance of our words.
Let us have a look at the following Bible verses that will encourage us to be careful what we say.
