Gracious words.
Col 4:6 is informing us - Let your words always be gracious, seasoned with salt.
In our preaching work, we meet with varied responses—some favorable, some hostile. Regardless of how people react, however, God’s Word shows the standard that his servants must maintain. When we make a defense before everyone who demands of us a reason for our hope, we do so “with a mild temper and deep respect” because we are motivated by neighbor love. We show love of neighbor even if our message is rejected by an angry householder who berates us. We imitate Jesus: “When he was being insulted, he did not insult in return. When he was suffering, he did not threaten, but he entrusted himself to the One Father who judges righteously.” Whether we are with fellow believers or others, we show humility and apply the counsel: “Do not pay back injury for injury or insult for insult. Instead, repay with a blessing.”
Even for kids today we as parents always say to them - watch your language, watch what you say, how you say. Do not raise your voice. We as parents should have set a torn for our kids so they keep the respect for us as a authority to lead there future. Same way our Creator has expected us all to be humble and with gracious words be together.
