Salt of the Earth and Light of the World   

Subject: Salt of the Earth and Light of the World                            

Scripture Reading: Matthew 5: 13 - 20                                            

Memory Verse: Matthew 5: 20

 

Objective: To inspire believers to fulfill their God-given purpose on earth.

 

Introduction: Understanding is a prerequisite to acceptance. In order for the Church to fulfill her role as salt and light, she must understand and accept that God makes the standard of righteousness. He gives us every opportunity to show how much we understand this. Let us take a deeper dive into His words to solidify the reality of our true purpose.

 

1.       Describe the behavior of the scribes and Pharisees in Luke 18: 9 - 14, Matthew 23: 1 - 7, 13 - 16 & 23 - 28?

 

Note: It must have been disturbing to those who ‘believed’ they knew the law back then (scribes and Pharisees), to be told the truth by Christ. Neither the length of their fasts, the size of their tithes nor the weight of the coins tossed in the treasury amounted to anything, if sincerity, mercy and justice were lacking. What is written and preserved is for our learning. When we understand this, let us accept and practice righteousness.

 

2.       What considerations do salt and light give to each other and their impact on others looking on? 1 Thessalonians 5: 11 - 15; John 13: 34 & 35


3.       How does Peter express this same thought? 1 Peter 2: 11 – 17

 

4.       Were the Philippians in receipt of this same message? Philippians 2: 14 & 15


5.       What was Peter’s address to all those striving to be salt and light? 1 Peter 4: 1 – 8

 

Note: It is of utmost importance that we live in God’s will, that we be the true demonstrators of godliness and holiness in the earth.

 

6.       What two important roles do we play as stated in Matthew 5: 13 - 16?

 

7.       Describe the end of those who have lost either or both their savour or light? Luke 12: 47 & 48
