What Your Speaking Says About You
John 7:18 – He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Our reason for speaking is founded either for our own pleasure or the pleasure of others (whoever that may be). As Jesus identifies, those that speak of themselves, only seek their own glory. They want people to marvel and be astounded at their gifts, talents, possessions, and works. Additionally, their speaking reveals how they seek their own pleasures of living in the world.
However, those that will seek the glory of the Father (the one that sent Jesus), will speak of God and Him alone. In addition, Jesus says that no unrighteousness is in that person. A person that seeks to glorify God (and not themselves) will be found righteous in the sight of God.
