Matthew 5:13-16 flows naturally out of the Beatitudes of 5:1-12. Taking on and exhibiting the character of the Beatitudes is what makes it possible for us to be salt and light on the earth, in the world, among the nations. In fact, there is an important and eternal truth we must never forget: those who love and follow King Jesus are the only real salt this world will ever taste and the only authentic light it will ever see
