Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt looses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot.”
We are called salt. Salt is a preservative; something that adds flavour and infuses itself into other foods increasing its taste. The salt used in Israel came mostly from the Dead Sea and was full of impurities, which caused it to loose its flavour. We are called to be Jesus disciples with the proof of being like salt. If impurities affect the use of salt, then impurities in my life will negatively affect my witness as a Christian disciple.
The great news! Salt can be purified by adding water and then heating with fire to burn off the impurities. Interesting; By adding the living water of God to my soul and allowing the fire of the Holy Spirit to “burn off” the impurities in my life that makes me more effective and flavoursome, purifies my soul.
Great thought...no
Great promise
