Holy Logic of Christian Speech-Acts
We have already established the fact that God Himself is the source, foundation, and motivation of Christian speech-act. God is a talking God. His word is creative, active, and relative. Those who experienced a redemptive encounter with Him through the Gospel are never the same again – they were born again. And as children of God, the presence of their heavenly Father through the Spirit transforms not only their character but their conversations. St. Peter said,
As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, “Be ye holy; for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:14-16)
Redemption put the believer in a covenant relationship.
The conversation has been transformed because the nature or character has been redeemed. Redemption put the believer in a covenant relationship. Thus, the character and manner of his conversation should reflect the relationship that he is in. This is the holy logic of Christian speech-act. Paul calls this in his own term as a “reasonable service” to God. In Rom. 12:1-2 this is what he said.
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Not only that the Christian conversation should reflect the covenant-relationship with God, it’s also an expression of worship. A Christian conversation is a worship service to Jesus Christ. In everything you say and do, you do it “all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him” (Col. 3:17). The moment a Christian realizes this truth, his conversation will never be the same again.
