The #Bible says let your speech be with grace. What does that mean to you in practical terms? Colossians 4:5,6.
NASB - 5Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. 6Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.

IV. OUR WORDS ARE NOT TO BE ALL ABOUT RELIGION, BUT TO BE PERVADED BY THE SPIRIT OF


V. OUR CONVERSATION BEING THUS SEASONED, WE SHALL KNOW HOW WE OUGHT TO ANSWER EVERY MAN.

Use moderation in your conversations with the lost, as one example

What percentage of Christians will find a relevant application within this passage? Roughly the percentage of people that you know that engage in regular ongoing personal evangelism.


Going back to the passage now, the application within this passage is that your responsibility in Christ is to engage in personal evangelism as the Holy Spirit provides the proper opportunity.

Instead of forcing the topic of Jesus Christ and Salvation into the beginning of even the briefest of discussions (pass the salt, please. Do you know that Jesus said...) instead of your words always immediately being on the topic of Jesus even within the most mundane and boring of interactions, focus instead of simply being constantly comforted and educated by the Holy Spirit even when you are alone in your thoughts and actions so that when you have opportunity to interact with another human being you will have the advantage of the Holy Spirit's leading so that you know exactly what to say and when to say it.


And preface these occasions with daily prayers for these four things:
1. the opportunity to witness to someone that day
2. the perception to know just when that opportunity is presented to you,
3. the boldness to speak when the Holy Spirit opens that opportunity to you and
4. prayer for the precise words that He wants you to share with that poor soul.

Do these things on a regular basis and you will meet the demands of Colossians 4:6 to have your speech always be with grace.
