Dear Christian brothers and sisters, it is very important for us to speak positively. Just as positive words come out of our tongue or mouth, negative words also come out of the same mouth. The Bible encourages us to speak positively.
We face or may face situations in our daily lives that may compel us to speak negatively. But let us remember the Bible’s guidance. Jesus himself emphasized the importance of words. Therefore, if our hearts are full of love, kindness, and faith, our words will naturally become positive.
By speaking positively, we can show God’s love and continually grow in our relationship with Him. We should be slow to speak and slow to anger. These will help us to speak positively, which will ultimately lead to peace and harmony.
Dear friends, let us be very conscious of the words we speak in our daily lives. By doing this, we will love one another, keep God’s commandments, and be examples to those around us as children of God.
Dear friends, now let’s see the Bible scriptures below that talk about ‘speaking positive words‘.
