1 | salt and light | Matt 5:13 | NightJay0044 | 160530 | ||
Hi, okay I know I've asked numerous questions on here, but I just like to know about everything I can. Okay this next verse I want to kind of learn about but am still alittle confused about it. Passage Matthew 5:13: Does that mean that we are the salt as people who can bring out the light on the earth. Can someone explain the simplicity of this passage? |

Hi NightJay0044, Ask all you wish to your heart's content! I also hope that you will study the Holy Word, and share the results with us. :-) 13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour (to become insipid, act as a simpleton), wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden (reject disdainfully) under foot of men. Salt has two primary characturistics. It gives flavor, and it preserves. We give flavor to the earth (to whom?). We preserve the earth. God told Abraham that He would spare Sodom if He found 10 righteous in it. God will not judge the earth until the righteous are removed. I am to freely live my life in Christ, so that my contribution makes this earth a better place to live in. I am to extend my authority in Christ to counter the evil in this earth, and intercede for others, so that there is less harm come because I am here. Lev 2:13 And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt. Nu 18:19 All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee. Salt, in the sacrificial system, was a symbol of God’s Covenant with man. The fact that there are born-again people shows God’s New Covenant with man. But what if, though still being salt, we have no savor? Please also check the archives on this passage, there is some excellent material there. God Bless! Love in Christ, Mark |
