Matthew 5:13-16
13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
We are to give the flavor of reconciliation in Christ as His ambassadors, preserving life to those who hear and repent towards the gift of saving faith. If we cease doing this, we are tasteless and allow corruption to go unchecked. Likewise, we are to shine by deed and word this good news of reconciliation, not hiding the message that illuminates the soul, but blazing openly with truth in love. This gives the glory, honor, and praise justly due to the God who made us all and who owns us who belong to Him - bought at such a price!
