Salt

Matthew 5:13
You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned?
It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

1. Salt Flavors
We flavor the earth.
Colossians 4:6
Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

2. Salt Preserves
Preserve good cultures.
Mark 9:50
Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it?
Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another.

3. Salt Melts Ice
Break the ice in every relationship.

4. Salt Makes People Thirsty
Be thirsty for God.
John 7:37
If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.

5. Salt Brings Healing
We have the abilities to heal.
2 Kings 2:19-22
Elisha went out to the source of the water, and cast in the salt there.
Thus says the Lord: "I have healed this water; from it there shall be no more death or barrenness."

The only way salt loses its flavor is due to its impurities.
