The Salt of The Earth

Christians are in the world to be a good influence, to make things and people better, to flavor the world with Jesus.

Matthew 5:13 Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost his favour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing but to cast out and to be trodden under foot of men.

We are to be salt in the cities where we live. If the salt never leaves the shaker, how will a lost and dying world learn about Jesus? 

We are to add the salt of Christlikeness to our speech, our dress, our conduct, our relationships and attitudes.

Adding salt will make a marriage better, a family better, and friendships better. Adding salt will make a church better, a city better.

The salt of Christ softens the heart by melting resentment, bitterness, anger, envy, and unforgiveness.

We must saturate our lives with the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, so we won't lose the flavor that points others to Jesus.
