"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. "

Heres the savour of HIS knowledge, speaks of the salt (ye are) losing HIS savour

Right now I am seeking to be made salty again. I have been teaching alot on holiness and sactification, yet all the while I've been smoking and known that God was convicting me that it is sin (1Cor 6:12). Please pray for me that God gives me the strength to overcome... I began the process at 9:30 pm last night.

Salt preserves (even heals) as Elisha cast salt in the spring of waters healing the same. Just as being salted is found in the offerings (or just as everyone will be salted) even as we offer our bodies as living sacrifices.
However, there is an example of salt found in Lots wife (who looked back) and she become a pillar of salt too.
I have something written up on how they appear compareable, but my docs are messed up by word and I have alot of deleting to do, its a royal pain.
P.S Food4thought I will certainly pray for you

Believers are to be like salt, but salt loses it's preserving power if it is not in close contact with that which is to be preserved.
"God so loved the world that He gave His only Son." God loved the people of the world.
It is through integration of ourselves with others that salt has power. Light and salt are not for ourselves - for our own salvation, it is for the benefit of others.
If we live a life that is involved with others, and we have concern for others, we have not lost our saltiness. We can lose our saltiness, (our effectiveness) by living to ourselves and being only concerned for ourselves. |
