Having your eyes opened to the conditions and consequences of your true spiritual gifts and calling, it will become (if it hasn’t already) blatantly apparent that you are to act as a conservative power in this current world. 

As salt was used in times past to preserve substances from decay and ruin, so should we, by the preaching of the Gospel, seek to save society from corruption.  

In Mt. 5:14 another example is given about being the “light of the world.” 

The figure is changed, but the same idea prevails, that mankind is in a condition requiring help from a source beyond men’s own natural powers. 

Each of us who know Christ as Saviour, serve as a media source of grace to others.  Our personal testimony has never been more important than right NOW!     

“The light of that grace received from Christ is intended for the good of ALL within the circle of its rays.” (Clarke)

Keep this in mind always as you pursue your daily life personally and professionally, and as you network on- and offline.  In private.  In public.  At home.  In the workplace.  At the kids sporting events.  

Never has there been a better opportunity to, “Let your light so shine before men…” (Mt. 5:16). 

We should be “salty” and we should be reflecting His “light” so that everyone we come into contact with notices something different about us and the lives we are living.
