Kingdom Culture Part 3 – Salt & Light

P. Jason Hubbard

Matthew 5:13-16 CSB You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty? It’s no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand,  and it gives light for all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”

SALT AND .

1. The flavor of .

Mark 9:42-50 CSB – “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to fall away -it would be better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. And if your hand causes you to fall away, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than to have two hands and go to hell, the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to fall away, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. And if your eye causes you to fall away, gouge it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched. For everyone will be salted with fire. Salt is good, but if the salt should lose its flavor, how can you season it? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”

James 1:2-4 CSB – Consider it a great joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you experience various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces enduranceAnd let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.

2. The flavor of .

Psalm 14:3 CSB – All have turned away; all alike have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one.

Leviticus 20:26 CSB – You are to be holy to me because I, the Lord, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be mine.

3. The flavor of .

Romans 2:4 CSB – Or do you despise the riches of his kindness, restraint, and patience, not recognizing that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?

“We must have in our souls a savor of grace.” – Matthew Henry

LIGHT WHAT IS TRUE AND WHAT IS NOT.

Proverbs 4:18-19 CSB -The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, shining brighter and brighter until midday. But the way of the wicked is like the darkest gloom; they don’t know what makes them stumble.

1. We the light of Christ.

Genesis 1:3 CSB – Then God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

John 1:1-5 CSB – In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were created through him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created. In him was life, and that life was the light of menThat light shines in the darkness, and yet the darkness did not overcome it.

2. We the lies of the enemy.

Ephesians 5:8-11 CSB – For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light– for the fruit of the light consists of all goodness, righteousness, and truth-testing what is pleasing to the Lord. Don’t participate in the fruitless works of darkness, but instead expose them.
