A question, in Paul’s letter 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”
what is meant by seasoned with salt ?
- Bro. Nicholas, The Apostle Paul in these verses to the Colossians and us is reminding us the believers of how we are to speak to the unbelievers when it comes to evangelizing. Therefore, when we share the Gospel with others, we are to speak what is spiritual, wholesome, kind, purposeful, loving and thoughtful to them in regards to how the Gospel has transformed our lives and how it can theirs as well. Secondly, he uses the example of salt because it is known to be a flavor enhancer and purifying agent and just like salt so should our speech/witness be to the unbeliever (season with salt). In other words, our speech should not only be a blessing to others but it should also have a purifying influence on those that we share the Gospel with. God bless you sir and thanks for the question. Shalom
