Have Salt In Yourselves

"Salt is good: but if the salt  have lost his saltness, wherewith shall ye season it?  Have salt in yourselves and be at peace with one another."  Mark 9:50.  I like salt to season my food.  However, I have noticed that sometimes the salt seems to have lost its flavor.  Jesus uses the term "his saltness."  Our master has taught us that we are salt, which is used to alter the taste of food, and also, to preserve.  The disciples of Jesus have the unique calling to alter the society in which we live.  Our lives are to make a difference.  We are to be an influence for good, and not for evil.  We are to live in a way that others can see our relationship to Jesus, and desire to possess that lifestyle themselves.  We must not lose our saltness.  We must continue to serve, honor, and glorify the Savior by living lives that make a difference.  By this life, we also have the power to preserve.  Society will be better by the life that we live.  The principles of good will benefit our society, and those people who serve God will enjoy His blessings.  A people can stand or fall by the manner in which they choose to live.
