Are you salty, seasoned, or not?

Salt: a white crystalline substance that consists of sodium and chlorine and is used in seasoning foods. Salty: seasoned with, or containing salt.

FACT – No two substances in the Bible are mentioned more than water and salt. Jesus has something profound to say to us about salt.

You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, (savor, strength) how can it be made salty again? Mt. 5:13a NIV

Savor: to have a specified taste, or quality; Savory: pleasing to the sense of taste, esp.; by reason of effective seasoning. When something is savory it makes your mouth automatically begins to water…just looking at it makes you want it. When people look at your life as a Christian do, they want to partake of you?

Our lives should be so flavored that people automatically want what we have…Are you Salty, Seasoned or Not? One thing I have noticed in my walk as a leader in the Body of Christ is; some saints are out of balance in their walk.

• Some are too salty: too much judgmental attitudes, criticism.
• Some have no salt: anything goes, too compromising.
• Some are seasoned: their walk matches their talk…they know how to speak a word in due season… their lives minister grace to those around them. They can say they are blessed and highly FLAVORED. People love being around them…Let us do an honest final examination of where we are and make a decision to be the Salt of the earth that Jesus said we should be.

You may ask how I can balance myself in my walk to be the salt of the earth. I will share with you a few scriptures to help us get to that place.

Seasoned: Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. Col 4:6

As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him: rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith. Col 2:7

Learning: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Tim 2:15

Transformed: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.  2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:1-2
