Colossians 4: 5, 6
Be wise in the way
you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with
salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
Outsiders in this verse might be
referring to those outside the faith. We
have to be wise in the way we act towards those who are yet to follow Christ,
and when opportunities arise, we must love as Christ loves…not point the finger
and condemn.
The next verse tell us how to do
this.
It’s sort of like preparing a
dinner. If we present our guests with a
dinner lacking in taste, offensive in smell, and repulsive to the eye, they won’t
be interested in dining at our table again.
It’s the same with our lifestyle
that our neighbors see. We must exhibit
the grace of God towards all, win them over with his great love, and not shy
away from questions, always being ready to answer how Jesus came to us and set
us free.
In this way, our table is set,
it’s beautiful, inviting, and the aroma is irresistible!
