Remember Who You Are – You Are Salt And Light 9/13/2015 pm Remember Who You Are – You Are Salt And Light Matthew 5:13-16 Micky Galloway

Remember Who You Are NT Christians had an impact on their world. Acts 2:46-47; 5:14, 28, 42; 8:4; 17:6; 28:22.

You Are The Salt Of The Earth Matthew 5:13 Salt Flavors Food. (Christians flavor the world with goodness.) Must retain your basic character. Matthew 5:3-12 By putting sin to death. Ephesians 4:20-32; Colossians 3:5-10 By growing in attributes of godliness. Philippians 4:8; 2 Peter 1:5-9; 2 Corinthians 10:5 By preaching the gospel. 2 Corinthians 2:12-17 (Paul and companions) By using speech that fits the situation. Colossians 4:5-6. Do Not Lose Your Flavor. Matthew 5:13

You Are The Salt Of The Earth Matthew 5:13 Salt Preserves against Rottenness. (Christians who live by faith are guards against spread of sin.) When faithful men and women do nothing, not only do they cease to be faithful, they hasten the advancement of sin. cf. Jude 3-4. Be the Christian who "stands in the gap" to preserve the influence of truth and to avoid the day of wrath! In Ezekiel's day, Ezekiel 22:23-31. (Moses, Psalms 106:23)

You Are The Salt Of The Earth Matthew 5:13 Salt Preserves against Rottenness. Be the father/mother who sets the pattern of reverent obedience and unwavering faith. Be the worker who shows good fidelity in all your labor. Be the saint who guards his/her holiness against sins of flesh. Be the elder/deacon/preacher/teacher/member whose faithful zeal defines you and this congregation. Ephesians 4:16

You Are The Salt Of The Earth Matthew 5:13 Salt Creates Thirst. (Christians create interest in Christ by their faith.) Christians live so as to create interest in, desire for, greater knowledge about, and participation in the salvation and life in Jesus. 1 Peter 2:11- 12; 3:15-16 Are people influenced by righteousness and truth by seeing you and your life? 1 Timothy 4:12. Or … are you being influenced by them? 1 Corinthians 15:33-34

You Are The Light Of The World Matthew 5:14-16 Your Life must be a Shining Light Matthew 5:3-10. (Give direction to those in the darkness of sin and death.) Your life (light) must be obvious. Matthew 5:14 Your life (light) must function. Matthew 5:15 Your life (light) must have purpose. Matthew 5:16; cf. Philippians 2:14-16

You Are The Light Of The World Matthew 5:14-16 Walk in the Light of Truth John 8:12; 12:36 Practice the truth, confess sin and press forward. 1 John 1:6-9 Live to please the Lord. Ephesians 5:8-14 Bear the fruit of the Spirit and be accepted by God. 5:9-10 Have no fellowship with the works of darkness - expose them with the light of truth. 5:11-13 Be spiritually alert, not apathetic / indifferent. 5:14

You Are The Salt Of The Earth, You Are The Light Of The World Matthew 5:14-16 Remember who you are. Don't let your salt (life) lose its effectiveness to influence for good. Don't let your light (life) be hidden through the shame and fear of sin. Let your light shine and your salt be tasted!
