Words spoken by our LORD:
Deuteronomy 8:3
“that He (God) might make you understand
that man does not live by bread alone,
but man lives by everything that proceeds
out of the mouth of the LORD.”
Continuing with the Sermon on the Mount
Matthew 5:13-16
“You are the salt of the earth;
but if the salt has become tasteless,
how can it be made salty again?
It is no longer good for anything,
except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.
“You are the light of the world.
A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;
nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket,
but on the lamp-stand,
and it gives light to all who are in the house.
Let your light shine before men in such a way
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father who is in heaven.”
Mark 9:50
“Salt is good; but if the salt becomes unsalty,
with what will you make it salty again?
Have salt in yourselves,
and be at peace with one another.”
Luke 14:34-35
“Therefore, salt is good;
but if even salt has become tasteless,
with what will it be seasoned?
It is useless either for the soil or for the manure pile;
it is thrown out.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Matthew 6:22-24
“The eye is the lamp of the body;
so then if your eye is clear,
your whole body will be full of light.
But if your eye is bad,
your whole body will be full of darkness.
If then the light that is in you is darkness,
how great is the darkness!
No one can serve two masters;
for either he will hate the one and love the other,
or he will be devoted to one and despise the other.
You cannot serve God and wealth.”
Luke 11:34-36
“No one, after lighting a lamp,
puts it away in a cellar nor under a basket,
but on the lamp-stand,
so that those who enter may see the light.
The eye is the lamp of your body;
when your eye is clear,
your whole body also is full of light;
but when it is bad,
your body also is full of darkness.
Then watch out that the light in you is not darkness.
If therefore your whole body is full of light,
with no dark part in it,
it will be wholly illumined,
as when the lamp illumines you with its rays.”
(( only one way to keep your salt salty,
that is to keep in the word of GOD,
and obeying His word.
Not in your own wisdom and understanding. ))
Proverbs 3:5
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.”
Proverbs 18:1-4
“He who separates himself seeks his own desire,
He quarrels against all sound wisdom.
A fool does not delight in understanding,
But only in revealing his own mind.
When a wicked man comes,
contempt also comes,
And with dishonor comes scorn.
The words of a man’s mouth are deep waters;
The fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook.”
Proverbs 19:8
“He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;
He who keeps understanding will find good.”
James 3:13
Who among you is wise and understanding?
Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.
But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart,
do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.
This wisdom is not that which comes down from above,
but is earthly, natural, demonic.
For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist,
there is disorder and every evil thing.
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable,
gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits,
unwavering, without hypocrisy.
And the seed whose fruit is righteousness
is sown in peace by those who make peace.
1 Corinthians 1:30
But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus,
who became to us wisdom from God,
and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
The only way to know true wisdom the wisdom in Christ Jesus,
who became to us wisdom from God,
is to read except, follow and obey
the words of out LORD Christ Jesus.
Want to truly be light in this world for Christ Jesus?
Want to truly be salt in this world for Christ Jesus?
Then read His word and apply your life accordingly.
Have faith in Christ and obey His commandments.
Matthew 6:33
“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness,
and all these things will be added to you.”
James 1:5
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God,
who gives to all generously and without reproach,
and it will be given to him.
Reed GOD’s word ask for wisdom,
Keep oil in your lamp and your lamp lit
sat out as it were a lighthouse that directs a ship from danger
live in a maner that lights the way for mankind to the find the LORD.
And keep your salt salty.
Out for now
