You are the salt of the earth - Matthew 5:13.
You are the light of the world - Matthew 5:14.
We are blessed by God to be a blessing for others. I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing - Genesis 12:2. We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world to be a blessing for people in all ways and in bringing them into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Salt of the earth
We are the salt of the earth and so let us be useful for others like salt. We should never be like the salt that had lost its flavor as it is good for nothing.
You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. - Matthew 5:13
Light of the world
Our life should shine brightly before others through our words, attitude and actions so that when people see our good works, they will be drawn to God and glorify Him. Let our light shine in the dark world.
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven - Matthew 5:14-16.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Let us be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
