Check Your Heart! (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 that 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."
This is speaking to those who would blaspheme and turn people against Christ through slander or misusing God's Word. It also speaks to the "justification" not in the sense of our salvation; but the outward evidence that we show people the evidence of our inner character!
