"You are the salt of the earth
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
by men.
You are the light of the world.
A city 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 light shine
before men, that they may see your
good deeds and praise your Father in
heaven."
Matthew 5: 13-16
Good works alone will never save us for that task was solely placed on the shoulders of our Lord Jesus Christ. But after we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and personal savior, we are admonished by God to become the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We must do our good deeds and examples of righteousness
for the Lord that His name will be glorified in all the earth.
