Power Of the Tongue - Proverbs 18:21

Proverbs 18:21 ESV
Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruits.

Control of the tongue mirrors the state of the heart. We will be judged by our words.

If we confess Jesus as the Son of God and our Savior, we pass from death to life.

Matthew 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. You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
