YOU ARE SALT AND LIGHT
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 5:3 NIV
IDENTITY THEFT
YOU’VE RECEIVED A LABEL.
* HOPELESS
* AFRAID
* FAILURE
YOU’VE BELIEVED A LIE.
YOU’VE BEEN LIMITED.
1. GOD MADE YOU TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
"You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.” Matthew 5:13 NLT
"Let me tell you why you are here. You're here to be salt-seasoning that brings out the God-flavors of this earth. If you lose your saltiness, how will people taste godliness? You've lost your usefulness and will end up in the garbage.” Matthew 5:13 MSG
* SALT KEEPS THINGS FRESH
* SALT MAKES THINGS BETTER
2. GOD MADE YOU TO SHINE.
"You are the light of the world--like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.”
Matthew 5:14-16 NLT
YOUR REAL LABEL:
* NO LONGER HOPELESS – YOU ARE COURAGEOUS.
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.
Acts 4:13 NKJV
* NO LONGER AFRAID – YOU ARE CONFIDENT.
So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?" Hebrews 13:6 ESV
* NO LONGER A FAILURE – YOU ARE A CONQUEROR.
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Romans 3:37 NIV
ACTION STEP
* HELP OTHERS EXPERIENCE GOD’S BEST.
Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night.
Philippians 2:15 MSG
Taste and see that the LORD is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in Him! Psalms 34:8 NLT
