Colossians 4:5-6 “Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best
use of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so
that you may know how you ought to answer each person.” (ESV)
Paul was instructing the Colossians in how
to witness to the people who were outside of the family of God, but these words
still ring true for Christians today. We must never assume a position of
superiority. Rather, because we are called to spread the good word, we should
be putting ourselves in the company of those who are lost. However, lest we
forget our own priorities, we must be wise and strong in our faith and find
ways to talk about who our Savior is and how to find Him. It is critical that
Christians walk through our daily lives in ways that are in line with our
testimony. Likewise, Christians must be careful that what we say is not in
contrast to what we profess to believe. Friends, let’s step out in our
communities with the intent of making a difference in the name of Christ. Let’s
be the “salt” so that we might bring others along in our faith. My prayer is
that others will look at us and think that they want a piece of what we have!
