Who you are in Christ.#6

In Christ you are 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.

So what in the world does that mean we are salt. Well let’s bet a definition of salt first: to cure, preserve, or treat with salt.
In the days of Jesus, salt was a very valuable substance. It was used for many things such as preserving meat, treat wounds, season food, among many other things. So how does that relate to us being salt as followers of Jesus?

As salt we help preserve life by sharing the gospel of Jesus to the lost and dying world. It is our job to do so!

As salt we help treat the wounds of the broken hearted, the mistreated, the orphans, the widows, and the needy.

As salt we bring seasoning (joy) to the world because of the hope we have in Jesus Christ the Savior to aw world that is unhappy and has no peace!

Do you get the picture? If we lose our flavor as the verse says, who is going to bring the seasoning???? No one! We thus become useless!

I don’t know about you but I want to useful to the kingdom go God because Jesus gave his all for me and He deserves my all in return!

I am SALT in Christ! How about you?
