You are the salt of the earth.
The sermon on the mount is accepted by
Christians as the measure of faith and life that Jesus set for all true
believers. The very important fact is that we are salt of the earth. Salt is
valuable to give flavour and to preserve from corruption.
Those who believe in God are to be
Godly examples in this world and to resist moral decay and corruption found in
the society. As long as we are in this earth, the forces of evil are at work.
We are responsible to hold those forces back because we are the salt of the
earth. When we lose the flavour we become good for nothing, only to be thrown
and trampled underfoot by men.
In sermon on the mount Jesus
warned us that it is men`s feet that will trample the saltless church. We are
here to give the earth flavour in the sight of God. We are the only factor that
makes earth acceptable to him, through our prayers, praises, and preaching word
of God.
As long as we are on this earth our
responsibility is to live in such a way that we commend this earth to God. Even
though we have weakness, failures, lack of prayer and meditation of God`s word,
which causes to lose our flavour, God wants to put us back in charge. No matter
our circumstances "He is the God of all grace" (1 peter 5:10).
Through His grace we become salt of
the earth.
We are channel of blessing to all.
Be blessed and become a blessing to
all in this earth.
