5 Ways You Can Make a Difference to Change the World!

Jesus tells us that we are the salt of the earth, and we are the light of the world (Matthew 5:13-14). He does not tell us that we need to become change agents (salt or light); he tells us we are change agents. In ancient times, salt was primarily used not as an aid to taste but as a preservative. Jesus is saying that we are the global moral preservatives. And then, as now, light shone in dark places to show us the way to go. He is saying that we are the global spiritual illuminators. He also tells us it’s possible to hide our light under a bowl, and while chemically salt cannot lose its saltiness, salt then (and now) could get ruined by having other elements to it. So, our saltiness and our light-i-ness can get ruined by either hiding and not speaking out (light under a bowl) or being corrupted by non-Christian behavior and thoughts (losing our saltiness). So then, how can we make a real difference in our world?
