You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor?
Matthew 5:13, NLT
I seasoned my food the other day with one of my favorite seasonings but noticed my food still did not taste the way I expected. When I looked at the seasoning bottle, I realized why my food was not as flavorful as usual - the seasoning had expired.
Those who wear the name of Christ have to be careful not to lose their flavor of effectiveness while living in an ungodly world. In what ways can Christians lose their flavor? According to some commentary in my Living Application Bible about today's scripture verse, here are five ways:
- By being quiet when we should speak
- By going along with the crowd
- By denying our faith in Jesus Christ
- By letting sin dim our lights
- By not sharing our faith with others
Like a good seasoning, we are to be the salt of the earth. So let's continue doing our part to shake up the world for Jesus Christ to ensure we never lose our flavor.
Sharing the Word,
Jeaninne
Prayer: Father, use me today to shake up the world. Amen.
