READ: Matthew 5:13-16
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Matthew 5:13
Good salt and bad salt look exactly the same. There is no way to tell that salt has lost its taste.
The salt of Christians is supposed to make people thirsty for God. Unfortunately , the church has lost much of its flavour and is making people thirst after money and success rather than God.
We have become a wrong kind of salt but we look exactly like good salt. It is not easy to tell when the church is in the imperfect will of God. The salt (gospel ministers) that has lost its flavour is huffing and puffing about grasping worldly things instead of living for God. But it is not easy to see the difference between salt that has lost its flavour and salt that is still salty . Those in the perfect will of God and those in the imperfect will of God look exactly the same.
Good light and bad light: As the light of the world we are supposed to show the world the path to God, but we rather show them the paths to the world’s wealth and glory .
The light that shows the path to God and the light that shows the path to the world are both light and therefore have many similarities. It is difficult to see the difference between these close and parallel lights and yet they point to very different destinations
