Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and best-selling author Dr. Paul David Tripp connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

The average person speaks about 7,000 words a day, and there are nearly 1 million words in the English language.

So, out of all the words we say and out of all the words we could

choose, what's the most beautiful word available to us? Find out on today's episode of survival skills.

Here's Paul Tripp. If it was your job to scan the entire human vocabulary for the most

beautiful word in the universe, what would you say it is?

If you had to think of all the words that you've ever thought or spoken, what was the most beautiful of them all?

What is the most beautiful word in the human vocabulary?

The average person speaks about 7,000 words a day.

That's a whole lot of talking.

That's 49,000 words per week.

That's 1,479,000 words per month.

Over 17 million words per year.

Now, of all of those words, which was the most beautiful word you spoke

last year? Or think about it this way. There are just under a million active words in the English

language, 988,000 words. What one of them is the most beautiful? You talk all the time, you listen to people talk

all the time, you read all the time, you hear words all the time, words are the background

drone of all of our lives. And so today, what I want to do with you is examine one word. One word that is perhaps

the most beautiful word that's ever been spoken. One word that is not only beautiful in its history,

but it has the power to totally rearrange you and everything that makes up your life. One essential, beautiful word,

one word you do not ever want to live without. One word that you definitely want in your life

now and all of the time. What could that word be? What is the most beautiful word that's ever been spoken?
