Can salt lose it's saltiness? I suggest that it cannot, so what does this passage really mean?
Matthew 5:12-14 "12 Rejoice and celebrate, because great is your reward in heaven; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets before you. 13 You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. 14 You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.…"
We can rejoice and celebrate because we cannot be anything but what we are in Christ. We are salt and light because of Christ in us.
