Read Matthew 5:13-16
“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salts 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”. (Matthew 5:13).
Believes are compared to salt. Salt has multiple uses, some of which have not been explore. In this sense, salt is seen as something of great value. From this scripture, we learn that what has great value can suddenly become good for nothing. I mean nothing!
A man’s soul is worth more than all the treasures of the earth put together, yet by indulging in sexual sin, all that value is lost. That individual becomes good for nothing (Prov. 6:26). If you appreciate the value Heaven place on you, do everything possible not to lose it
The most used of God can suddenly become the one God cannot use. Retain your value with all your life! Another lesson here is that loss of worth equals loss of placement. Your Heavenly placement or rating is a function of Heaven’s assessment of your worth. Each time you come up with a new idea for God’s Kingdom, you increase your worth.
How often do you increase your worth? When you lose your worth as salt of the earth, you will end up under the shoes of those you were supposed to positively affect. But as long as you maintain your worth, and season, sweeten, preserve, sanitize and clean lives, men will always look up to you. You will remain above them!
Another lesson here is that it takes earthly relevance to secure Heavenly approval. You were created to affect the earth. You were saved to positively impart lives. Some people are so ‘holy’ that they were of earthly good.
The call to holiness does not mean you should live like a hermit – secluded from every one else as some Christian believe. God does not expect you to conform to the world’s way of doing things but to establish his standard through your life-style.
Your value in Heaven will be determined by how many souls you won into the God’s Kingdom, the number of hopeless people the Lord used you to restore hope to, and how many sorrowful people you made to smile through your ministry. If your ministry cannot positively affect lives, it is of value: good for nothing!
Ye are the salt of the earth: but is the salts 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 men” (Matt5:13)
