‘It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63).
When we speak, we are either speaking life or death (Proverbs 18:21). For “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34). This is because the mouth and the heart (spirit) are connected (Romans 10:10). This means what you say shows exactly what your spiritual state is. Words have power, and they can bring either life or death (Proverbs 18:21).
It was by His words that God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1-3). When God created Adam and Eve, it was through words that humanity began to multiply. Communities developed because people communicated their needs, and things were brought into existence. Think of it like work: if your manager wants a job done, they give instructions through words—either written or spoken—and the task is completed. This is how the world has progressed, through communication.
However, your words can either be of righteousness (life) or lawlessness (death).
