Cyber Commandment Number 1
Thou Shalt Edify
Part I

Pardon my King James Version but the Ten Commandments just do not seem right without the’ thou shalts’. So the same applies for our cyber commands. We as God’s vessels, the ones He has called unto Himself; beloved saints, elect of God. Yes the ones who have within them His divine nature- we must edify. Proper reflection of the inner working of Jesus Christ is a natural spiritual process once a believer begins to cleanse themselves of the works of the flesh. One of the most important aspects of our life as believers is the authority God has granted to us in our speech and the power of our words. Sinners have this same authority but there is a manifested and evident connection with how our words associate with our belief system.

Along with our actions, our words are identifiers of our relationship with God. What we say speaks life or detriment to many. The apostle Paul tells us in Colossians chapter four and verse six that our words should always be with grace and I love the next part of that verse and how it describes how it should be prepared. Our words should be seasoned with salt. You see, it is easy to let a little joke go by and sneer at it or maybe even laugh at it because it was funny. But we are not just living for ourselves. In fact we should not be living for ourselves at all. The life a believer lives should be a life that exists by faith in Jesus Christ and our reflection should embody His resurrection power in us.
