Are you worth your salt...

Are you worth your salt…

You are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor (saving influence), wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men...Matthew 5:13. For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest unto God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences...2 Corinthians 5:10-11. I charge you in the sight of God, and of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be urgent in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts; and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables...2 Timothy 4:1-4.


Salt not only has a taste but is a preservative extending the life of the meat it preserves. It helps save it from rot. We are the saving or preserving influence here on earth. If we have lost our saltiness then we are good for nothing. Are you worth your salt?


We will all appear before Judge Jesus either; we have done good deeds or evil and be judge properly for our deeds done. It is the fear of God knowing we will be judged for our deeds which should cause us to behave according to being judged for good deeds. Do you preach the word? Or do you preach opinions of men? Do you teach others through example and word? We are to reprove the errors we hear make the sayings line up with the truth or cause someone to rethink their position. We are to rebuke or just tell them they wrong. We are to exhort or to encourage others to be faithful with the truth from the New Agreement of Christ and teach the truth of Jesus and His Church.
