(KJV)MATTHEW 5:13 YE ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH:BUT IF THE SALT HAVE LOST HIS SAVOUR,WHEREWITH SHALL IT BE SALTED?IT IS THENCEFORTH GOOD FOR NOTHING,BUT TO BE CAST OUT OUT,AND TO BE TRODDEN UNDER THE FOOT OF MEN. Gods people are His preserving agents for the world that is corrupted and degenerating because of Sin.Your life is designed and commissioned by God to enhance a community and to preserve what is good and right.There is deep significance today for a godly life that is involved in its community.The presence of Christ in you makes all that He is available to others.His salvation can free an addict,mend a broken home,heal the pain of the past,restore a wayward child,and confort a grieving heart.All of this is available to those around you as Christ expresses His life through you. If your not in a right relationship with our Lord,however,Jesus said we are like saltthat has lost its saltness and is,therefore,good for nothing.None of Gods saving grace and power can be dispensed through us others.How do we test the SALTNESS of our life?Look at our family.Are we preserving it from the destructive influences that sorround it?Examine our work place.Are the sinful influences in our work environment being halted because we are there?Observe our community.Is it a better place because we are involved in it?What about our church?The evidence that we have been used by God as a preserving agent is that things becoming spiritually better around us instead of worse.If people around us are deteriorating spiritually,we need to go to the Lord and allow Him to adjust our lives so that we can be used to preserve others.
