Salty And Shining Disciples

A lot of times we feel small and irrelevant when the bible mentions "You are the salt and the light of the world". Because we often appear too small as we stand in this world, for it is always attacking us in every ways, causing us to easily doubt God's promise for us and His calling in our lives as a person who can truly reflect the glory of Christ in the things we do. Firstly, we really ought to be assured of who we are first. What we are is more important than what we do. We are salt and light of the world not because we have done anything great but it's solely because of Christ who loves us surpassingly, to the extent of dying on the Cross in order to set us free from the bondage of sin. And now, He is living in and through us who believe in Him - that is the reason why each child of God has the potential to influence the world with his gospel-flavored life. Because Christ is living through our limited flesh, that itself makes us the salt and light of the world. Hence, set our heart right, first. See our worthiness in Christ and have this willingness to be used by God. Retain the saltiness and let your saltiness be tasted. A little salt is all that is required to make the entire dish tasty. A little light is all that's required to drive out darkness.

Forgiven To Forgive

 

In a wounded culture, we inevitably hurt others and got wounded by them. With His unconditional and exceeding grace of forgiveness, God cancels believers’ debts of sin and made us a new creation in Christ. By our old self, we cannot easily forgive others, but by our new self in Christ, we can. God forgives us so that we can forgive others. Only the greatest love of God can pacify our deepest wounds, so that we can even forgive those who sin against us.
