“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.” Matthew 5:13
Being the salt of the earth means adding flavor to your world by your words whereas being the light of the world means setting an example by your deeds. Colossians 4:6 says “Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” We do not just season the earth by merely speaking nice words but by speaking the truth with love. Whenever you share the gospel of Jesus Christ, you are seasoning the earth.

The whole earth lies in wickedness and is in need of those who will season it with the good news. Whenever good men remain silent, evil prevails.
Silence in the face of evil is the surest way of losing flavor. According to our anchor scripture, when salt loses its flavor, it is good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
