Death and Life Are in the Power of the Tongue

Our words reveal what is in our hearts. Jesus taught that a good heart produces good things, while an evil heart produces evil things (Matthew 12:35). Like our actions, our words expose what is within us (Isaiah 59:2–3).

Jesus warned that we will give account for every careless word we speak (Matthew 12:36). Yet Scripture teaches that we cannot tame the tongue by our own strength, calling it "a restless evil, full of deadly poison" (James 3:8). A controlled tongue is therefore evidence of God's Spirit at work in us.

Salvation comes through Christ and His atoning work on the cross, not through perfect speech. But because our words reveal the condition of our hearts, they carry serious weight: "For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned" (Matthew 12:37).

"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh."

—Luke 6:45 (KJV)
