Social media has made it very easy for people to speak alot of careless words to others and to participate in ungodly jokes that make light of sin and also mock God.
But Jesus said we will be held accountable for every word we speak.
Matthew 12:36-37
“But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
The consequences of careless talk are grave,by your words you will be condemned to hell because your words will reveal what is in your heart,and by your words you will be aquitted.
Flirtatious words towards the opposite sex,dirty jokes, hurtful comments,foul words, cussing are not for Christians.
Anyone who engages in these will give an account to God on the day of judgement on why they were flirting with men/women even if they called it “joking” or why they said hurtful things to people just because they were hiding behind a screen,and why they participated in talk not worthy of anyone called by the name of Christ.
Proverbs 10:19
“In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise.”
Jesus is still holy,He does not change and He doesn’t lower the standard He desires of His children.
He wants them to be unaffected by the increased moral decay because God’s children live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God,not by the ever changing standards of the world.
Be holy for I am holy,says the Lord.(1 Peter 1:16)
