Salt of The Earth

Jun13

“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.
Matthew 5:13 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mat.5.13.NASB1995

‭Salt is good; but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
Mark 9:50 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/mrk.9.50.NASB1995

Salt in ancient days was used to season, as is today, but it was also used as a preservative.

Jesus said, “You are the salt of the earth.” Salt enhances the flavor of food. What a difference we can make with words that enhance another’s life. Words of salvation, kindness, encouragement.

Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.
Ephesians 4:29 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.4.29.NASB1995

Salt preserves food. Believers are to  preserve the truth and goodness in a fallen world.

‭Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.
Colossians 4:6 NASB1995‬
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.4.6.NASB1995

‭Being the salt of the earth is a big task.
‭
🌹“Therefore, salt is good; but if even salt has become tasteless, with what will it be seasoned? It is useless either for the soil or for the manure pile; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Luke 14:34-35 NASB1995‬
