The Danger of Saltlessness

 

Text: Matt 5:13 (KJV)

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

 

You realize how tasteless a meal is without salt. Salt is usually used for flavour, purification and preservation, when it loses its taste it is no longer useful, so, have and preserve your salty self. Keep yourself seasoned at all times because that taste is what makes one relevant. Therefore, season your words with the right words and you will know how to answer any man. In your conversation, bring out the best in you and the best in others. Saltlessness is what makes one not valuable, so continue to add value and worth to yourself by building up yourself with relevant stuffs like the Word of God. Salt is not useful if it is still in the bag because its usefulness cannot be appreciated, so therefore it is good-for-nothing entity. There is a flavour in you,don’t bottle it up. Do not allow your natural value to be lost because carelessness in the environment.

 

Col 4:6- Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. Your actions must be seasoned with salt, especially your speech, so as to know how to respond to every occasion and the people around you. There is good in you that must be saved to bring sweetness and taste in every endeavors of your life. You cannot draw both salt water and fresh water from the same fountain. As you have salt in yourself, you will have peace and extend to others. You also have the power to influence, to preserve and to affect things around you. As the salt of the earth, you should enhance yourflavour to influence people’s lives around you. God has spread us around the world so that unwanted strangers and characters cannot survive in our vicinity.  Do not loss your natural content and property.
