Matthew 12:34-36
New International Version (NIV)
34 You brood
of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks
what the heart is full of. 35 A good man brings good things out
of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the
evil stored up in him. 36 But I tell you that everyone will
have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have
spoken.
Jesus reminds us that what we say reveals what is in our
hearts. What kinds of words come from your mouth? That is an indication of what
your heart is really like. You can’t solve your heart problems just by cleaning
up your speech. You must allow the Holy Spirit to fill you with new attitudes and
motives, then your speech will be cleansed at its source.
