Believers Are The Salt Of The Earth!

Matthew; 5:13
(You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.)
We must make sure we never compromise our witness because if we do it is very hard to be effective. When you are talking to someone about God, they may say didn't I see you do this or that and you tell me it is wrong? Why are you able to do this as a Christian and I can't? God tells us that we are the salt of the earth and we need to be a preservative of the Christian faith. We are to live as righteous a life as we can with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Any time we are tempted to jeopardize are witness, the Holy Spirit warns us not to and we need to listen. It's all about being obedient to God and doing His will. We all have heard of someone who has sinned and ruined their reputation. Afterward it is very hard to regain the public confidence. It is the same with our Christian reputation. If you are truly living for God, the public knows it by the life you lead. They are watching you all the time to see if what you say is how you live your life. So never assume that the world is not watching you.

Stay in the Word of God daily and pray for strength in your Christian walk. We can only accomplish this with God's help. We know that satan will be doing all he can to put stumbling blocks in your way. He doesn't want you to succeed so he's able to accuse you of failing. Remember, it is easier to resist temptation than to regain a reputation.

God Bless You!

The key is to stay in the word, otherwise our armour will not be effective.
