We trust in the promise of him who cannot lie, that the time will surely come when in every word and work we shall do his blessed will on earth as it is done in heaven (Matthew 6:10), when all our conversation shall be seasoned with salt, all fit to minister grace to the hearers (Colossians 4:6; Ephesians 4:29), when whether we eat or drink or whatever we do, it shall be done to the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31), when all our words and deeds shall be in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him (Colossians 3:17).
