Matt 5:13 "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot."
The bible passage above reminds me of a story of a young man who went to the market to buy food stuff, he bought plenty of meat, stock fish, ice fish, crayfish, Maggi cube, etc. He spent a lot of money to make a pot of soup but he did not add salt to the soup and lo and behold the soup was tasteless at the end of the day not minding all the ingredients he used to cook the soup. This simply means that the other ingredients lost all their values because there was no salt in the soup, and the whole soup became tasteless.
Salt is a flavour enhancer, meaning without salt the flavour of onion, tomatoes, fish, meat, etc. will be lost and they become tasteless. The bible passage above teaches that children of God are to earth as important as the salt is to the soup. Without children of God the earth looses its purpose, and becomes useless.
Imagine a situation were salt is overused in a food, the whole food becomes total useless and no one can be able to eat the food because the salt has lost its purpose....instead of enhancing the flavour of the ingredients used in cooking, it destroys the flavour. Same thing happens when children of God looses their purpose, instead of attracting souls to God, the repel souls away from God.
Today, the church is loosing it saltiness, instead of propagating the gospel of salvation, men of God are embanking on personal enrichment, extorting the poor masses instead and giving them false hope of material gain in God instead of heavenly gain.
The big question here is 'are you a salt to the earth or have you lost your taste'?
"But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot." be wise.
