“But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.”
James 5:12
In the above scripture, we are urged not to swear by heaven, earth, or any other oath to prove ourselves right. As believers, it is essential to reflect on our conduct when others struggle to trust us. We are called to be individuals who speak with authority and assurance. By establishing ourselves as trustworthy individuals, even those outside our faith will seek refuge in us.
Apostle James guides believers, urging them to let their affirmations be true and their negations be honest. When our affirmations are genuine, there is no need to convince others to trust us because they will witness the fulfillment and assurance in our words. Our speech should be seasoned with the Word of God, and our lives should align with His ways. Through this, we can win others over to God.
As Christians, one of our primary responsibilities is to lead people to the faith. By integrating our words, actions, and conduct with good behaviour, we can successfully and effectively attract others into the fold of Christ. Let us be people of integrity, keeping our promises and speaking truthfully.
