How to Live with High Impact.

1. Be

You are the salt of the earth. Matthew 5:13

Remain

But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. Matthew 5:13b

2. Be

You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Matthew 5:14

Allow Through Me

Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others

Matthew 5:15-16b

Demonstrate

In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16

3. Be

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.  Matthew 5:17-18

God’s Word

Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven Matthew 5:19a

God’s Word

but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.  Matthew 5:19b

Jesus came to what I never could

For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:20

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21
