Luke 12:5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
How many times have people said the saying “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me?”
But I put it to you the most important thing to watch out for are the cunning words of the evil one who is set to try and lure you away from God at any cost!
We may well get physically hurt by sticks and stones, and words may not physically harm us, but they sink deep into our hearts and souls and can keep us from being with God.
Be encouraged by righteous things and righteous words!
