Jesus spoke these words—part of his famous Sermon on the Mount—to illustrate the role of his church in the world until he returns. He taught that the church—comprising all redeemed believers—is meant to exert a holy influence in God’s world, reaching the lost and dying so that they might be saved. Through this influence, the church works to transform nations, cultures, and societies into a world that honors and bows before King Jesus.
In this sermon, learn how you, as a Christian, are like salt to this world: a preservative, a purifying agent, and the Lord’s means of seasoning his creation—making it delightful and pleasing to him. Yes, Christian, you are all this… and more!
