Scripture to Read: Colossians 4:5–6
God definitely wants us to be actively sharing the gospel of Christ each day. But we must always share Christ out of a heart of compassion and kindness and not an attitude of judgment and condemnation. God had Paul write this in Colossians 4:5–6, “Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. 6 Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.” To walk in wisdom is to walk in full fellowship with our Lord Jesus Christ, for in Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3). To unpack those treasures of wisdom and knowledge, we must be in constant fellowship with our Lord and allow His Word to fill our hearts and minds (Colossians 3:16). As we walk in deep fellowship with Him, we understand how His divine power fills us (2 Peter 1:3) so that we can be used as His instruments of righteousness to share our faith in Christ with those who are still lost in their sins. As we share, we must ensure that our words are filled with God’s grace and are as savory as salt to our food. God will give us His words as we share, and He’ll give us the confidence we need to share. That is why we must also pray Ephesians 6:19–20 for ourselves and for all the saints each day, so that we are ready to be used by our Lord to share His truth in love.
