Be Salty!

​
​In the culinary world, salt is used as a preservative. As Christians, we are the salt of the earth, which is used to preserve God's Word in this sinful world. We do this by choosing to follow what the Bible says. Thus, our characters reflect God's character. As we personally mingle with unbelievers, our "salty-ness" rubs off on them, encouraging them to become "salty." However, having a fake, Pharisaical relationship with God won't get the job done. People can see through fakeness. Our love for God and a relationship with Him has to be real in order to truly influence others.

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

"Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another." Mark 9:50 KJV

"Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?" Luke 14:34 KJV

"Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man." Colossians 4:6 KJV
