The Bible says we are, first, followers of Christ. We are witnesses to His death and resurrection.
We are the light shining to lead others to His path.
We are salt, to add flavor to a world daily searching for something fresh and new; salt is needed for the human body to live. It preserves food, purifying it.
We are ambassadors to a foreign world.
We are saints, sanctified by the Blood of Christ, shed to redeem us.
Am I what I say I am? How can you tell? Do I fit that description?
Heaven and the world hate hypocrites.
If I am a saint and no one can see that because I behave like the world around me, I am a hypocrite because I am acting like something I am not.
You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
You are the light of the world. A town on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on a stand and it gives light to everyone in the house.
In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, So that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. Matthew 5:13-16
