Being The Salt Of The Earth

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, and to be trodden under foot of men.

God sees you and knows you. God chose you to be His child because He loves you. We say God chooses you by grace. Grace is the love, care, compassion, and mercy of God. When God chooses you, we are not to celebrate in worldly terms, for His choosing you could result in your dying for Him. Instead of celebrating being chosen by grace, we should regard this event in a spirit of humility. If you follow God's will or His leading, His leading could lead you to give up your life for His work and His cause here on earth. Being part of His remnant is like being salt or seasoning. When you put salt on your food, the salt disappears. The salt becomes invisible. Likewise, when we are added to the world as Christ's seasoning, we too should become invisible. Through humility, we must add to the flavor of life in our part of the world He has given to us.
