Something we all need to learn is the discernment of when to keep your mouth shut. Jas. 1.19, 26; Prov. 10.8b.
It sounds like he’s saying that the very first place your belief in God shows itself is in your language: the way you talk, what you say, the words you use, and how you treat people with your words.
What about love? One of the most important ways you show your love is with what you say. Your language counts. How you treat people with your words counts. It includes saying things just to annoy people, or to put them down, or to make them feel guilty, or to make them angry or hurt.
