Impart grace:
“Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamour, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” Ephesians 4:29-32 (NKJV)
We are made of three parts namely spirit, soul and body. When we received salvation by accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour our spirit is redeemed and becomes as perfect as Jesus. This we have to believe by faith and start walking in purity and renew our mind accordingly. This process completes by speaking in tongues with the Holy Spirit anointing when our tongue comes into His control your soul is redeemed. Now the way our thoughts and words should be full of kindness and tender hearted forgiving others imparting grace, as God in Jesus forgave you in the first place and made you a spirit being.
Seasoned with grace:
“Continue earnestly in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving; Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.” Colossians 4:2, 5-6 (NKJV)
We have to grow in our spiritual life continuously praying all the time and be very careful in our walk with the help of the Holy Spirit, full of wisdom in dealing with those who are not in the Lord and this way you will redeem time. Yes we need to make best use of our precious time in this world and we should be ready to answer those who have doubt about our faith walk seasoned with grace. We should live our lives in this spiritual status till our Lord who is going to come on the day of redemption; when He will redeem us bodily too by giving us an immortal body in the twinkling of the eyes! And we will be with the Lord God forever and ever. Amen! 1 Corinthians 15:50-53(NKJV)
There are three stages by which we are all prepared for the day of redemption— SPIRIT in Salvation we receive the redemption of our spirit, SOUL by receiving the anointing of the Holy Spirit to walk holy, and BODY which will be redeemed by the coming of our Lord Jesus in the midair to receive us.
“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (NKJV)
