"Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly."
2 TIMOTHY 2:15-16
The most high God created man to be his temple. Through faith, baptism of the Holy Spirit and only through acceptance of Christ Jesus as Savior - The Lord accepts you as his. In this, he makes you new such that you may do his will. His will is spreading the Gospel and his son Jesus.
To do this - he lives in you - the inner voice dialogue that was once self serving has changed to his voice - guiding you - talking to you - and teaching you - such that you will allow God to place you wherever he needs to so that he can speak and teach through you.
The things in which God speaks to you - work them out in practice as the intention is for the word and love of God be used to benefit and strengthen his people. Be deliberate in meditating on the words the Lord speaks to you such that the truth will be born in you - so you teach not from head knowledge received but through affliction of passing through the fire of truth for which true wisdom is born.
Speak not to sound righteous in front of men but rather be humble in truth. Do not argue over things in which others do not understand - rather seek the power of God on you to speak in a manner in which may be received.
