As Christians we are the salt of the earth or we are supposed to be. It is time for REAL CHRISTIANS to become real. It is time to stop talking the talk and start WALKING THE WALK. We are the light and the salt of the world… Next question are we really? Time to get personal when is the last time you told someone about Jesus, when is the last time you lead someone to the Lord, when is the last time you have talked to that person, and lastly how many of those questions can you answer honestly? You do not have to answer them to me I would rather you answer them to God to Jesus and to the Holy Spirit oh yes they already know the answer. It is time for us to become the “We Are The Salt Of The Earth”, and with that said we can get started now. Hang on it is going to be a bumpy ride…

Isaiah 64:6 All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.

Here Isaiah is praying to God. To me it reads like he is actually talking to his daddy. Respectfully of course however he then asks a question How then can we be saved?

Isaiah 64:4 Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.

Isaiah 64:5 You come to the help of those who gladly do right, who remember your ways. But when we continued to sin against them, you were angry.. How then can we be saved?

Well this is one of the questions that Jesus came to answer.

John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

There is no other way to heaven Jesus was born and lived walking the earth working miracles and showing Gods love. As we should be doing today. Just remember that you might be the only Bible someone might see. We should not go through this would witnessing to others we should go through this world being a witness to others.

Matt 5:13  “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.”

We as Christians are the light the salt of the earth. We need to be someone who the lost sees and desires to be like. Walking down the street passing out tracts or telling people they are going to hell. Turns most people off, what we need is to be loving them right where they are and showing them Gods love and what Jesus did for them as he did us.

Time to stop playing Christian and BE ONE… This is not a game it is not a job it is being a TRUE Christian. I was posting and reading some sites yesterday and this was posted by 7 different people (young ladies) “Say a prayer that I’ll soon be blessed with bigger boobs” sorry that is not a Godly public prayer. God knew you before you were born he made you the way you are for a reason. Accept it and use it.

We need to start being Christians not acting like Christians since we are what God desires as it says

Genesis 5:1 This is the written account of Adam’s family line. When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God.

Genesis 1:27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

We need to repent and start being what we claim to be… CHRISTIANS. I am blessed by being in a Church that is a family. We lost our pastor (he resigned), The Church is tightly knitted family and because of that we are in agreement that God is in charge and our trust, love. And peace is from and in God. In the 3 years I have been there he taught us that our purpose is “LOVING GOD! LOVING PEOPLE! We are not part of this world we are in this world however not part of it. This world is not MY home, I am just passing through.

We are the salt of the world. Here is a short definition (I hi lighted a couple)

I think we are very important to God we are here to tell everyone about God and how to spend eternity with Him. This is all Christians responsibility not just a chosen few ALL we ALL are to be a witness. ARE WE?

Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.”

Isaiah 64:6 All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.

There is a way to do it right First we must repent and change our wicked evil ways. We must turn back to God.

So once we have repented and turned totally to God. This is what we can look forward to. As the verses before say.

Ezekiel 36:25 Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.

Ezekiel 36:26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh..

Ezekiel 36:27 I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.

Jeremiah+15: 19 Therefore this is what the LORD says: “If you repent, I will restore you that you may serve me; if you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman. Let this people turn to you, but you must not turn to them.

Matthew 13:43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.

If you are not sure about leading someone to the Lord here is a simple and effective way to do it…

This is known as the Romans Road to Heaven

1) We all were born in sin. Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

2) We all were born in sin. There is a price for sin, eternal death. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned

3) We all were born in sin.Jesus paid the debt in full on the cross. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

4) We all were born in sin. By faith in Jesus Christ we can be saved. Romans 10:13 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

THIS IS A SIMPLE WAY OF EXCEPTING WHAT JESUS DID FOR US YOU CAN CALL UPON THE LORD

First Question will you admit that you are a sinner?

Next Do you believe without a doubt Jesus is the Son of God?

Will you repent by confessing to Jesus your sins and would like for God to save your soul, all you have to do is just ask Him.

Jesus… I come to you now asking for forgiveness of my sins. I trust you today completely, JESUS, and only You, to take me to Heaven when I die. Thank you for saving me from the eternal death and hell.
Amen.

Just as you were born to your Mom and Dad you were born into the Kingdom of God when you called on Jesus!

Please memorize this verse and repeat it daily…
