How do we know our words matter to God?

Answered in 1 source

God holds us accountable for every word we speak (Matthew 12:36).

In Matthew 12:36, Christ emphasizes the weight of our words, stating that every idle word spoken will be accounted for on the Day of Judgment. This underscores the seriousness with which God regards our speech. Our words can either justify us as true believers or condemn us based on what flows from our hearts. This accountability reflects our relationship with God and the condition of our hearts as shaped by His grace.
