Condemned by Your Words

How many events have caused confusion and disappointment that, in our eyes, have been baffling? Diseases, accidents, deaths, destruction, stray bullets, and so on.

We expected to see good but saw evil.
We expected peace but had to go to war.
We expected life but were faced with death. When this happens, it’s normal for a person to blame many things or people, and there are even cases where God Himself is held responsible.

The Lord Jesus said:

For by your words, you will be justified, and by your words, you will be condemned. Matthew 12.37

Many are being condemned to the misfortunes of this life simply because of their own words.

These words are often against someone who is in God’s favor. Therefore, expecting good, peace, and life is impossible.

God promised Abraham (His friend) that He would be in his favor:

I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you… Genesis 12.3

It’s no use just not to do what is against God; you must also not speak against those in His favor and, for this reason, are His friends.

The friends of God are all those who obey His Word. You are My friends if you do what I command you. John 15:14

It’s one thing to have the devil as an enemy and opponent. It’s another thing if you become an enemy or opponent of God because of words you said against Him or someone who serves Him.

But if you indeed obey His voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. Exodus 23:22.
