Be Salty – Matthew 5:13 {Scripture Memory Challenge}

How often do you pick up a salt shaker? Notice this week as we memorize Matthew 5:13.

Memorize This Week

You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.
Matthew 5:13 (ESV)

Are You Salty?

We want others to think of us as sweet as sugar. But often we’re sour like lemons. What did Jesus say about our flavor?

Be the salt of the earth.

Back in Jesus’s time, salt was precious. It was sometimes even used as currency in payment to the Roman soldiers. Today, a Christian worth their salt may also be seen as a rarity.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. We all have the ingredients necessary to be salty.

Salt is used to preserve foods and to increase flavor. Can we as believers be the carriers and preservers of God’s grace in our communities? Can we be a welcome addition in the presence of our friends and families?

As you memorize Matthew 5:13 this week, notice how often you reach for the salt shaker.

Then become it.
