"It's in the Book"
"Salt"
"For everyone will be tested with fire. Salt is good for seasoning. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? You must have the qualities of salt among yourselves and live in peace with each other." --
Mark 9:49-50 (
NLT)
Season all your grain offerings with salt to remind you of God's eternal covenant. Never forget to add salt to your grain offerings. --
Lev. 2:13 (
NLT)
Jesus used salt to illustrate three qualities that should be found in his people: (1)
We should remember God's faithfulness, just as salt when used with a sacrifice recalled God's covenant with his people --
Leviticus 2:13. (2)
We should make a difference in the "flavor" of the world we live in, just as salt changes meat's flavor (see
Matthew 5:13). (3)
We should counteract the moral decay in society, just as salt preserves food from decay. When we lose this desire to "salt" the earth with the love and message of God, we become useless to him.
