 You Are the Salt of the Earth
6. You are the salt of the earth; for every sacrifice must be salted with salt, but if the salt has lost its taste, with what shall one salt? Henceforth, it is good for nothing, but to be poured out and trodden underfoot. (Chap. 25:6)
Christ explains, corrects
and deepens the word:
The righteous are the salt of the earth.
They will repeatedly point out the deplorable state of affairs of this world and touch upon the sore points of sin. For much damage has been and is being done in this still sinful world – and many people became victims for the sake of the gospel.
The righteous who became victims shall be vindicated by righteous men and women, for everything shall be made manifest through the salt of the earth. Now, in this time of radical change from the old sinful world to the New Era, the Era of Light, the righteous will bring injustice to light and will cause it to become evident, so that those who have done wrong may recognize themselves and atone for it.
However, you righteous ones, who are the salt of the earth, beware that the salt does not lose its taste, that you, therefore, remain in righteousness and do not let yourselves be led astray. For who shall bring righteousness into this world, and who shall point out the deplorable state of affairs and the sins that people have created? Surely, only those who know My name and are recorded in the book of the lamb.
The one who no longer is salt of the earth falls among those who have abused and are abusing My name for their own purposes and who have persecuted, slandered and killed the righteous.
When the salt of the earth loses its taste and the person disregards his neighbor, he will succumb to his own causes; figuratively speaking, he will trample himself underfoot. His unexpiated causes will then cause illness, infirmity and grief. The light-poor soul will live in need and will feel on its own soul body what it has caused to its neighbor.
