Every Idle Word? Matt. 12:36
June 8th 2007 18:20
This verse when studied in depth, has serious implications for the believer today. It states that(Jesus speaking here) But I say unto you that EVERY IDLE WORD that men shall speak,they shalt give account thereof in the day of judgement. This means that words are more meaningful than one may at first assume. A slander here a cuss word there all building a case against you. Or, a kind word given here and there will contribute to your reward at the believer's judgement By thy words you will be justified and by thy words you will be condemned. Another example of words having power is when Ananias and Sapphira in the book of Acts lied to the Holy Ghost and when they were confronted dropped dead on the spot (And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.) And a while later, his wife met with the same fate. So words are powerful and a revision to the old saying is this "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will destroy me."
