Living Wisely As a Mature Believer - Colossians 4: 1-6

Being wise as true servants of Christ treating fellow bondservants being just and fair remembering God above sees everything so be kindly gracious always with godly care Be faithful always in daily prayer coming before God's mercy seat always being thankful for God's grace believing His love your eternal street Intercede for those in real need that God would open clearly His word so opportunities for His message do come for many hearts would be stirred Paul here speaks from the prison cell for having declared the mystery of Christ making God's word known absolutely clear that for man's sin Christ was sacrificed Use the time wisely walking among all speaking truth to every man with grace so knowing how you answer everyone being a believer of maturity in God's place (Masters, treat your bondservants justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven. Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison— that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak. Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.) Colossians 4: 1-6 (ESV)
