We Are the Salt of the Earth

We Christians are “the salt of the earth.” (Matthew 5:13-16). But if we have lost our saltiness, how are we then effective in changing (seasoning) our society and making it any better? In addition to bringing the message of salvation, our purpose is to stand against the erosion of Kingdom values nearby preventing or delaying society’s decay and descent into decadence. We fight against the tide of inhumanity and oppression.  In short, we are called to become Christlike and be Jesus’ examples as we go about our daily lives. We are “imitators of Christ” (Ephesians 5:1). We show forth His love and all none of the Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22).

Unless we become Christlike in word and deed, we will have lost our saltiness. The Bible says we would then end up being thrown out like tasteless salt! Can you say “AMEN”!?!
