Salt and Light in the World!

Tweet

Jesus calls us to be light of the world revealing gods love and truth bringing light to the darkened hearts of sinful ungodly people. The salt of the World is that we should be living the Spirit-led lifestyle and a reflection of Christ by living Godly on this earth, seasoning with worthiness of heart , truth and good works. We are to be like the salt that penetrates and light that radiates by stopping the moral decay in our sin infected world. We are called to be separate and different from the world.2 Cor. 6:17 says Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. God wants us to produce Christ like character not conforming the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our mind by being obedient to His Word and following his commandments. By being salt and light we are not going to be conformed to the world’s standard, but rather confronts the world with Gods word. By being a salt and light of the world we create a thirst for Godliness and walk with Christ by being a good witness for Christ around our family, kids, friends and others. Matthew 5:13 states: "But if salt loses its taste, how would its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trodden underfoot by men". We can lose our saltiness by speaking bad words, being filled with evil spirit by suppressing Holy Spirit and following sinful path and living in sin and violating Gods commandments and being a bad testimony for Christ before others. According to Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit .God says our conversation to be seasoned with grace to build up someone in the Lord .We must Set a guard, over our mouth by praying to God to cleanse our heart ,mind and lips. Now here is my question, Are you salt and light of the world? How many people are influenced by you in a Godly way? If not Will you make a decision now to be the salt and light of the earth?
