Salt

“Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?” Luke 14:34
Jesus says we are the salt of the earth (Matt. 5:13). Salt is an interesting thing. When added to food, it enhances flavour and acts as a preservative. It creates thirst. The analogy is easy to see: Christians in the world act as a preservative (when the Holy Spirit, and His vessels, are removed, means the 70th week of Daniel and the Great Tribulation can start, 2 Thess. 2:6-7). We should be enhancing the flavour of the lives of people around us. And we should be creating spiritual thirst in others as they look at our lives and want what we have. But it seems we are failing, for the most part, in these latter two aspects. This could be a sign that as a whole, Christians are losing their saltiness in the world. The context of Luke 14:34 is that of not having commitment to see it through.
It’s not too late to change and identify those areas in your life where you may have lost your saltiness. Ask God to clean out all the sin and worldly stuff, and commit to living for Him. We are in the last days, when ‘the love of many will grow cold’ (Matt. 24:12). Don’t be one of them; stand firm for Christ and be salt and light in the world.
