Audio Version
📖 1 Peter 1:15–16 (KJV) – But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
God’s call to holiness touches every part of our lives and this includes our tongue. Our opening scripture reveals that holiness is not just about avoiding sin; it is aligning with God’s nature of holiness. One of the clearest expressions of that alignment is in our conversations.
The words we speak are not neutral, they are spiritual instruments that reveal what governs our inner man. Our words either come from a heart that has been seasoned through communion with the word and the Spirit or they are shaped by residue of fear, doubt, and sin. However, Christ has redeemed us by His blood, we have been made righteous and empowered to speak like Him. Our conversations, both with ourselves and with others, must therefore reflect the reality of our alignment with him and our identity in him. You ought to be deliberate about speaking or sowing the align with his holiness.
You must Replace the language of guilt, fear, and condemnation with words rooted in the awareness of your identity in Christ Jesus. As you do, your tongue will become a conduit of holiness and a channel of divine power to everything and everyone around you. Hallelujah!

The Church struggles to stay connected with everyday people, especially the younger generation, and there is a need for renewed faith, unity, and consistent sharing of the gospel in a society that often questions the existence and relevance of God.
