SALT
Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
Salt is used many times to describe how a Christian should live in the bible. We are told to be “the salt of the world.” Salt is a fascinating and deep word study, and we all understand it’s application properties of enhancing the flavor of food. The application properties of it as a Christian are viewed primarily as bringing Christ’s Light into the world through our lives, and how He flavors those that we influence. There are different theological lines on how we are to flavor it, but once we possess that Salt, we are assured that our influences are being effected. How you conduct yourself every day is how you salt those that come into contact with you.
The more we value the “stuff” here in the world, the more we expose ourselves to it, the more our salt will tend to loose it’s flavor. If we are drawn to the world and place more value on it thank our relationship with Christ, do we possess the salt? “Remember Lot’s wife”(Luke 17:32). Christ warns us in His telling us of the end of times. Spend time daily in keeping your salt pure through time in God’s Word. The salt of the gospel of Christ through His holy word, are the salt upon which we are all saved. The Word of God has the ability to penetrate you like none other, to convict or uplift you. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Time spent with Him, will allow Him, to use you to add flavor to those around you every day.
