Embracing our Role as Salt

Oct 27, 2024    Dr. Samuel D. Tootle III

In Matthew 5:13, Jesus calls His followers the “salt of the earth.” Salt preserves, purifies, and adds flavor, and in the same way, believers are called to preserve righteousness, confront sin, and enrich the world with the hope of the Gospel. Our identity in Christ is not passive, it is a call to live distinct lives that reflect God’s truth and love in a culture prone to decay. The question is: Are we living as the salt He has declared us to be?
