Since luck does not give the LORD Jesus Christ the credit for our prosperity and success, all True Saints should avoid any such expression as "Good luck" from slipping from our mouths, that would give those around us the impression that they should seek something or someone other than the LORD Jesus for True Prosperity and True Success. "I am the Vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing" (John 15:5). Rather, we, of all people, should say, "God bless you" or "God be with you".
"Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man" (Colossians 4:6). And, since the spirit of gambling is found in any activity that would allow us to be profited only at the expense of our neighbour, let us avoid all "appearance of evil" (1Thessalonians 5:22) by separating ourselves from this antithesis of love."20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God Whom he hath not seen? 21 And this Commandment have we from Him, that he who loveth God love his brother also" (1John 4:20-21). May we seek to demonstrate by our lives the reality and certainty of the "More Sure Word of Prophecy" (2Peter 1:19) of the LORD Jesus Christ.
