"Every force you create has an echo..."

            "Every force you create has an echo, your own bad energy will be your undoing!"

   When it comes to words and actions, you can say the result of those words and actions can have echos. According to Websters, the word echo can mean "reflection, repercussion, result, and/or responce." Every action done and word said, whether it be done by a Christian or a sinner, has affect on the people around them. Its like a domino affect, push one domino in a line of 10 and all 10 are affected. The Holy Bible gives numerous examples and reasons why we, as Christians, should be accounted and careful when concerning both our actions and our words.

   Alot of people, even some Christians, dont think the usage of words, or certain words (cuss words ect.) have affect on people. Solomon said this about the power of speech.

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."
                                                                                                                   - Proverbs 18:21

    Jesus Christ, the Lord himself, even went on to say this about the power of speech.

"O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." - Matthew 12:34-37

    Jesus went on to say this in this passage, that the words of a man reflects ones heart. That the words of a man should prove the spiritual extent of the heart, to show that its good or evil. He even went on to say that every idle word that is spoken shall be accounted for on Judgment Day and its either going to justify you before the Lord himself or its going to bring reproach and condemnation. Thats how powerful our words are in the eyes of God, powerful enough to to be brought into judgment simply because our words contain the power of life and death. By our words we shall either strengthen people or destroyed people. Glorify God or bring reproach.

    Same goes with our actions, our actions shall be accounted for.

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may recieve the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." - 2cd Corinthians 5:10

  When it comes to actions, this is how powerful our actions our when concerning others and ourselves.

"For if by one mans's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the rightouesness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous." - Romans 5:17-19

   In this passage, it talks about the transgressions of our father Adam, how not only did his actions affect only him, but because he did sin death and judgment fell upon all men, from him to everyone who lives today. It also states how powerful the actions of the Lord Jesus Christ were upon the cross, that salvation was able to all men who calls upon him by faith. These are two of the greatest examples given in scripture that proves that our even our actions have repercussions, responces, echos. Even Sir Isaac Newton, in his laws of science, states that every action will have either a equal or a great reaction and responce. Simply put, when talking, or doing something, see if its Godly and God approved, knowing that it not only affects you, but everyone.
