For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned (Matthew 12:37).
The Bible shows us the importance of words as it pertains to salvation.
Romans 10:9 says, “...if thou shalt
confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” This is the Bible
way to receive salvation.
A man will go either to heaven or to hell on the basis of his confession;
what he said or didn’t say. If he spoke the words that God said to speak for
salvation, he’d be catapulted into salvation and will eventually go to heaven.
But if he didn’t, he’d go to hell, and that’s not because of what he did wrong,
but because of what he didn’t say. The acknowledgement and confession of the
Lordship of Jesus Christ is the God-ordained way to receive salvation. Legally,
the whole world has been saved. Jesus died for everybody. However, for the
salvation that He brought to be a vital reality for anyone, that person must
speak the right words.
Salvation is a big word; it encapsulates all that the death, burial, and
resurrection of Jesus Christ consummated for us. In salvation, you have
deliverance, protection, divine health, preservation, prosperity, peace,
victory, success, the extraordinary life of righteousness, etc. To enjoy all of
these require the use of words. There’re blessings untold for the one who’s
born again, but to enjoy them, you must acknowledge and speak them forth.
All that some Christians have known is a life of struggle and defeat.
They aren’t enjoying themselves in salvation and in the Christian life, and
they don’t know why. It’s because they aren’t living according to what God
said. They aren’t using words rightly. To live the authentic Christian life,
you have to speak the right words. To keep yourself in the course that God has
set for you, you have to have a wholesome tongue.
1 Peter 3:10 says anyone who wants to enjoy life and see good days must
use words rightly. Where you are today in life is a reflection of what you’ve
been saying all your life. Create the future you desire! Speak words that are consistent
with the glorious life of righteousness, peace, health, wealth and joy that God
has made available to you in Christ Jesus
PRAYER: I’m a doer of the Word; therefore, I’m preserved and sustained in
the divine life. Thank you, Father, for making me a partaker of your
indestructible, indomitable, and imperishable life. Your glory and your
righteousness are revealed in me today, as I speak and apply the Word in all I
do, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY: James 1:25 - But if you look carefully into the perfect
law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you
heard, then God will bless you for doing it.
1 Corinthians 1:18 - The message of the cross is foolish to those who are
headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of
God.
Romans 1:16-17 - For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It
is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and
also the Gentile. 17 This Good News tells us how God makes us
right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the
Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”
