Let your light so shine before men.....

We Are the Salt and the Light of the World

Jesus said,
“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.”

We, who are the righteous ones, are the salt of the earth.

That the righteous are the salt of the earth means that they are necessary beings in this world.

People who believe in the gospel are necessary beings in this world.


However, what if the salt loses its flavor?

What does it mean that salt loses its flavor?

That means it cannot work as salt.

A righteous person loses his power because he throws away the Truth and walks according to the course of this world rather than living for the gospel .

In Matthew ( 5:14-15 ) it says,

“You are the light of the world”.

It says:

“A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.”

The righteous ones are the light of salvation.

The world hears the gospel from the righteous ones.

In other words, sinners receive salvation from sins through us, the righteous.

In Matthew 5:16, it says,

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

” We live glorifying God by believing in the gospel and receiving the eight blessings by faith.

We must always continue this life of faith with the faith that believes in the Lord.

We thank God, who gives us divine blessings.

God bless you all.
