The Power Of Words In The Bible

Our words have the power to create life or death. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” What this means is that words have the ability to bring life or death, depending on what we say. We should be careful with our words and choose them wisely because they can be very powerful.

The Bible is full of verses about the power of words. What we say out of our mouths is important. We have the power to create or destroy. We see this in the Bible in the story of creation. God spoke, and things came into existence. He didn’t just speak words of random thoughts, but he had a purpose for each thing he created. And his words were good.

The same is true for us. Our words can be used for good or for bad. We can use them to build people up or tear them down. We can use them to encourage or discourage. What we say matters.

So let’s be careful with our words. Let’s choose them wisely because they make a mess or they can make a miracle.

What They Can Do

Words have the power to do a lot of things. They can comfort us when we’re down, they can make us laugh, and they can give us hope. But they also have the power to hurt and destroy.

Words can be used to bully someone and to make them feel inferior. They can be used to spread rumors and hurt someone’s reputation. They can be used to make someone feel like they’re not good enough.

But words can also be used to build people up. They can be used to encourage someone, to tell them that they’re valuable and that they matter. They can be used to give someone hope for the future.

 

How To Use Them Wisely

When it comes to words, we need to be wise in how we use them. We need to think about the consequences of our words before we speak them.

We need to be careful not to bully someone with our words. We need to be careful not to spread rumors or hurt someone’s reputation. We need to be careful not to make someone feel inferior.

Instead, let’s use our words to build people up. Let’s use them to encourage someone, to tell them that they’re valuable and that they matter. Let’s use them to give someone hope for the future.

Examples Of The Power Of Words

There are many examples of how words have power in the Bible. One example is when Jesus heals a man who is deaf and mute. The disciples couldn’t heal him, but Jesus could, and he did it by speaking words of healing. (Mark 7:32-37)

Words have the power to heal and transform lives. They can bring hope and restoration. Another example of this is when Peter preaches to the people on the day of Pentecost. The Holy Spirit comes down on them, and they start speaking in other tongues. (Acts 2:1-4)

The words that Peter spoke had the power to create life. They came alive in the hearts of those who heard them. And they were changed by what they heard.

Words also have the power to convict us. When Jesus speaks to Nicodemus, he tells him that he must be born again. (John 3:1-21) Nicodemus didn’t understand what Jesus was saying, but the words had the power to change his life. He later becomes a disciple of Jesus.

Words are powerful, and we need to use them wisely. Let’s choose our words with thought and care, knowing that they have the ability to hurt or to help.

 

They Can Change Your Life

Words have the ability to create life or death, depending on what we say. We should be careful with our words and choose them wisely because they can be very powerful. When we speak words of encouragement, love, and hope, we are bringing life into the world. But when we speak words of anger, hatred, and despair, we are bringing death into the world. Words have the power to change everything – our moods, our relationships, and even our lives. Let’s choose our words carefully and use them effectively to bring life into the world instead of death.
