"Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." (Colossians 4:6)
This passage said to season your conversation with salt…but it also said in the Old Testament to season all of your offerings to God. ("...add salt to all your offerings..." Lev. 2:13). Our speech is considered an offering to God…we need to see it as that. What kind of offering do you present with your words? Is it pleasing to Him? Our mouths and our words can be harmful or helpful…we need to see our conversation as an offering unto God. Seasoning it with salt...enhancing others...just as salt enhances the flavor of food, we want to enhance others’ walk with Christ. We can do that by using our words to build up others- not to tear them down. "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer" (Psalm 19:14).
