Salty and Lit.

Hey y’all! It’s your girl Julie, back with another segment of “Salty and Lit,” and in today’s post, I want to teach you about what it means to be salty and lit. Let’s go.

Matthew 5:13-16 states, “13 You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. 14 “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. 15 No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” (NLT).

So it says, “In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” The verse talks about our good deeds shining; that’s what being light does. It shines for all to see. Lately, I’ve been noticing that the world is dark, but it’s our job as Christians to shine our lights.

How can we do that?

Do you call out the things of darkness, i.e. you see something wrong and call it out?

When you’re at work, do you share that you’re a Christian?

Do you share what you’re supposed to when God asks you?

When we’re a light, we call out the things of the darkness.

But what about salt? We take the God-flavors on earth and shine for all to see. That means, we call out the things out darkness and be a light.

It’s salty and lit. Therefore, it’s a two-for-one. We show the God-flavors by being the God-flavors.

So in this way, let your light shine, so they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
