MILLENNIUM MINISTRIES
Matthew 5:13 AMP
“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its taste (purpose), how can it be made salty? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and walked on by people [when the walkways are wet and slippery].
There were two purposes for salt in the first century—preserving food and enhancing flavor.
By using this salt metaphor, Jesus meant that His disciples are called to be “preservatives” in the world, slowing down the advancement of moral and spiritual decay. Psalm 14:3 says, “All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.” Believers are to preserve truth and goodness in a fallen world.
Of course, the value of salt lies in its effect on its surroundings. Salt makes an impact. After telling His disciples that they are the salt of the earth, Jesus goes on to say, “But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.”
This passage tells us that we are valuable in our role as disciples of Christ. God uses us to impact the people around us. Whether we are slowing down the moral decay or enhancing the spiritual “flavor” of the world, God has created us to be a positive impact. We are kingdom citizens here to usher in the kingdom of heaven! "Thy Kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven." The government of heaven is our rule, not men! The kingdom of darkness understands this, which is why so much effort is placed in who controls what we hear and see.
Shalom
