Are You Salty?
By Os Hillman,
Everyone will be salted with fire. - Mark 9:49
Jesus used parables to communicate principles of the Kingdom of God. He
said each believer's life should have the same impact on his or her world
as salt has on food. Salt gives food flavor and brings out the best, while
at the same time it serves as a preservative.
What allows a Christian to become salty? Fire. God knows that each
believer needs a degree of testing by fire in order for Christ's fragrance
to be manifested. We cannot become salty without this deeper work of the
Holy Spirit's fire in our lives. Fire purifies all that is not of Christ.
It takes away all the impurities that prevent His nature from being
revealed in us.
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have
had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your
faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by
fire--may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when
Jesus Christ is revealed (1 Peter 1:6-7).
Are you a salty Christian? If not, pray a prayer that the immature are
unwilling to pray. Pray that God makes you a salty Christian. It will
result in praise and glory at the throne of God.
