Bible Question: how would i explain mathew 12:36?? |
Bible Answer: Hello rolltide, Welcome to the forum. If you plan to stick around many of us would appreciate learning a little about you. Update your user profile with a little personal info if you don't mind. I sincerely believe that the verse has already been explained within the context of the passage. I truly would explain it like this: "Matt 12:33-37 "Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. 34 You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. 36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." ESV We know that we are not saved by what we say as verse 37 might seem to indicate. But verse 34b explains verse 37. It is the condition of our hearts that is represented by our words. So like Paul, we are to "preach Christ crucified" (1Cor 1:23). 2 Cor 4:5-6 5 For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. ESV Praise God, Jeff PS, I'm from the land of the tide, I hope we roll better next season. |
