Costly Grace

"Ye are the salt of the earth". Matthew 5:13.  Really!  Well I am wondering what has happened to all those SALTY Christians. To say I am angry, would be soft pedaling it!!!Salt is suppose to be the Christ life within us, by The Holy Ghost. The cost of our being salt is DISCIPESHIP!!!  John 10:10, 2Corinthians 3:6, Galatians 3:3, 5:16, Romans 8:1.

The second part of Matt 5: 13 says,"but if the salt has lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?"  Mark 9: 49-50, and even better my point is Luke 14: 34-35" it is neither fit for the land nor yet for the DUNGHILL but MEN cast it out. He that hath ears to heear , let him hear"!

If The Church doesn't wake up, and I don't think she will, too many virgins that don't have oil in their lamps, she will be soon persecuted for the lack of SALT!!!!! NOT because she is," miss goody two shoes."

This really hurts the cause for Christ, lack of SALT!!!

Here are some uses for Salt!

1. Purifies--- It's white color stands for holiness, God's natue. Salt kills germs, fights infection and when used FULL STRENGTH, we have revival.

The remedy for a polluted mind is salt: The Word, FULL STRENGTH.

2. Preserves--- all manner of meats and other foods. 1 Peter 1:5, Revelations 3: 10, Jude 20-21,and 24.

  Why people fail:

          1. They have not fed the spiritual man.

           2. They refuse to crucify the old man.

           3. They refuse to make restitution and reconciliation.

Judgement will fall when the salt is removed.

3. Seasons---Salt can take the bitterness out of coffee, counteract acid in pineapple, and overcome the sourerness of grapefruit.

Collossians 4:6  Let your speech be always with Grace, seasoned with Salt, that you may know how to answer every man.

Mark 9: 50  Have SALT in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

4.  Creates Thrirst-----John 4:10,John 7: 37-39

5.  Thaws---Love melts any situation-1 Corinthians 13:8,Galatians 5:6, and 1 Cor. 13:3 gives a picture of life without salt!

6. Strengthens--- Isaiah 40:28-31,11Cor. 4:6, Ephesians 4:23, Romans 12:2 Psalm23:3

7. In Sacrifice---Leviticus 2:13, Romans 7:18,20-25, Mark 9: 49, Romans 12:1 and 

     Luke 14:28.

When we live The Christ life, we function as SALT!
