How Salty Are You?

Mark 9:50 – Salt is good; but if the salt become saltless, with what will you season? Have salt in yourselves, and be peace with one another.

One of the keys to become intimate with God and people is to understand the essence of salt, as written in the bible. We all know that salt is one of the most common used ingredients to cook. Imagine cooking without salt. Culinary won’t be exciting anymore because everything is tasteless.

Salt is used to enhance and give flavors to food. We, as God’s children, are called, not only to do good to people, but to enhance and bring such a great influence to other people’s life. Showing and leading them to a life filled with unfailing love and the desire to become Christ-like. We have to examine our hearts to make sure that each relationship that we have truly shows great Christ-like attitude and the passion for lost souls.

Salt is used to preserve. We are called to preserve this world from the corruption and decay of sin. We are called to preserve Godly influence in our culture by expanding our Godly influence in the culture surround us, starting from our own family.

Salt is used as healing instruments. We are called as God’s vessel to bring spiritual, emotional, and physical healing to the people around us.

Salt creates thirst. We are called to bring such influence so that people will thirst after God and His Words like never before.

Let this be a great reminder to all of us that everytime we eat and taste the salt in our taste buds, we also remember to always enhance and give flavors to other people’s life, preserve Godly influence in our family, become the healing vessel for God, and always create thirst of God to others around us. 

And now it's your turn. How salty are you?
