Colossians 3:8. "But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth."
OUTWARD SINS. Social sins to some people seem normal and can be excused. This however, is not the case, we are never to use words to abuse. Those with whom we may disagree or find something about them offensive; We who have confessed Christ as Lord, must remember faith is the basis of our confession.
It is possible to be angry and not sin, but anger that is habitual, Is not as part of the new creation of God when we respond to what is factual. Anger may be a quick reaction to some statement or some act. We can control that initial response to determine what are the facts.
Malice is ill-will toward another person almost hoping that something bad Will happen to one we don't like, and secretly we are glad, Thinking they deserve what they are getting, but that spirit is not of God. Put that thought off and instead take time to think how to ease his load.
To blaspheme is speech that slanders; some even use the Lord's name in vain. When used against other people it can bring to them great pain. When a person has been redeemed, we need to build others up. Bad speech, coarse humor and obscene talk, should never come out of your mouth.
We need to make a daily practice of controlling the door of our lips. The tongue is often used against others, and sometimes others trip Over the stumbling block our words have put in the path of others. Our lips when closed and our mind controlled will a multitude of sins cover.
It takes a deliberate act to put off those things that don't belong To the believer in Christ, in order that our testimony be strong.
Just like taking off an old coat and casting it far away - Is what we do with outward sins, so that people will trust what we say.
"Father in heaven, may all that I am called to do and say today be done with grace and truth. May my words and thoughts bring honor to Thee and give light to other people. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen."
