The Salt Principle

Matthew 5:13 , "You are the salt of the earth; but if salt has lost its taste how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trodden under foot by men.”

There were four uses for salt

1. To Purify: Indicated by is brightness, ability to soften hard water and remove toxic metals

2. To Offer: As currency, and something required with offerings by the ancient Hebrews

3. To Preserve: As a chemical that retards decay in meat, allowing storage without refrigeration

4. To Flavor: As an enhancement to the taste of food

Leviticus 2:13, God gave a command to the Hebrews that included the use of salt; “And every offering of your grain offering you shall season with salt; you shall not allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your grain offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt.”

Mark 9:50, “Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another.”
