In Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus calls His followers the salt of the earth and the light of the world: "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
1. Salt Preserves and Adds Flavor
As spiritual salt, Christians preserve moral integrity in society and bring flavor, kindness, and encouragement to hurting communities.
2. Light Dispels Darkness
A single candle dispels pitch darkness. Your acts of love, honesty, integrity, and faith point people directly to the saving light of Jesus Christ.
