Salt Of The Earth

 I want to talk about Salt Of The Earth. Before I begin, Bianca will you open in prayer tonight please? Thank you for praying. I want us to look at some scriptures tonight, before we do that though I want to share some things. The first thing I would like to share is a quote. The quote says this: We are God's people and our purpose is to become the light of the world and the salt of the earth. 

The second thing I would like to share is a quote that says: The Bible says that Christians are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. On the job, in the grocery store, and even among unsaved friends and family members, God's people are there to bring seasoning to an unsavory situation. 

The third thing I would like to share is another quote that says: 

I would now like to go into some scriptures and the scriptures that I would like to look at tonight are Matthew 5 verse 13-16, Mark 9 verse 49-50, Leviticus 2 verse 13, Colossians 4 verse 6, Zephaniah 2:9, Romans 12 verse 1, Luke 14:34, Matthew 28:19-20, and Ezekiel 43:24. Thank you all for reading. 

In the scriptures we look back to some of the quotes we heard tonight and look at the scriptures we see how God shows us how we are the salt of the earth but how we are also the light of the world. God shines a light for us and He gives us the wisdom and knowledge to be a light for others and to be a disciple to tell others about who He is and what His Word says. We can tell others about Jesus in many different ways. We can tell them by sharing His Word with others, and we can tell them about Him by also spreading the love God gives for us by doing an act of kindness and by sharing His Truth.

I would like to share a song with all of you and the lyrics of the song say this: I’m the Salt of the earth, I’m the Salt of the earth, I carry the Flavour of God, I season the earth

I am the City built on a high hill, Like the yeast, I influence/leaven the world, I am rich, I am prosperous, I am blessed

I am light of the world, Oh, I’m the light of the world, I shine the light, of God, Upon the earth

I would like to share another song that is by Matthew West and the lyrics of the song says this: We are the salt of the earth, We are a city on a hill, We're never gonna change the world, By standing still, No, we won't stand still, No, we won't stand still, No, we won't stand still, No, If not us, then who, If not me and you, Right now. It's time for us to do something, If not now, then when, Will we see an end, To all this pain, It's not enough to do nothing, It's time for us to do something, It's time for us to do something, It's time for us to do something

These are the other things I shared from tonight's study, and I hope that it can help you as well.

Let us remember how God gives the courage and strength to be who we are called to be.

Who we are meant to be and who we are as His Children.
