Introduction
This is a familiar passage with salt and light being very familiar in metaphors.
I think that our familiarity can lead to a level of indifference concerning these verses.
Where the direction and application of this passage get lost on those in Christ.
We are going to take a look at these 4 verse again with a focus on their application toward those who profess to be Believers and the implication of this today.
You
The audience of Jesus, we see in Matthew 5:1, they are identified as disciples and Jesus call them the salt of the earth.
Audience = Disciples
Salt of the Earth
Uses of Salt in that Time
Salty Salt?
What Makes Salt, Salt
If Saltiness is Lost
Restoration?
No Longer Any Good
Still Useful?
Not for the Intended Purpose
Character
God Building Our Character
When thinking about the character of a believer, the character that God wants us to have is not innately in us, it has to be worked in us by God.
Since we are not with this character God has to build it in us, making this our new character.
