God gave us a mouth to honor and praise him at all times; he gave us a mouth to confess his name as our Lord and savior, laying claim to our salvation; he gave us a mouth to speak to our fellow brethren with love and admonition.
He did not give us the gift of speech to take his name in vain, nor did he give us a mouth to lie with or bear false witness against one another. When we curse each other we are cursing the precious gift that God has blessed us with in being able to converse and understand each other as well as God’s purpose for our life.
God spoke the world into existence by using his holy word. The words in the bible are of truth and were spoken to righteous men hand picked by God. Language is a form of communication to understand God and his intensions for our life.
When we use our mouths to speak vile and hurtful things to other human beings it is an abomination unto God, and against his intended use of what our speech was created for. If we speak from a condemning nature and do not apologize
