Matthew 5:13-16 Salt & Light

In Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus calls His followers to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Salt preserves what is good and adds flavor—just as believers are to slow the spread of moral decay and bring the hope of Christ into every corner of life. Light exposes darkness and points people toward truth—so our actions, attitudes, and words should shine in a way that directs others to the glory of God. This message challenges us to live boldly and visibly for Christ, making a real difference in a world that desperately needs His grace and truth.
