What does it mean to season our speech with grace?
Answered in 1 source
Seasoning our speech with grace means communicating the gospel with kindness and clarity, reflecting Christ's character.
Colossians 4:6 instructs Christians to let their speech be always gracious and seasoned with salt. Speaking with grace involves treating others with kindness and respect, aiming to direct their focus towards Christ. This means avoiding harshness or offense while still proclaiming the truth of the gospel. The goal is to share the message of Christ effectively and attractively, making it palatable for those who are unregenerate while maintaining the integrity of the gospel. When we communicate with grace, we reflect the humility and love of Christ.
