SEASONED

Posted on: 13-10-2012


Let your speech be always with grace, having been seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. (Colossians 4:6)

Whenever somebody talks about fabulous food dishes available, immediately the attention focus to consume it, this happens I suppose with each of us. Everybody loves some or the other kind of delicious dishes and salt remains one of major ingredients of taste all around the country, or be it any part of our globe. Jesus Christ, our MASTER has spoken "Salt is good; but if the salt becomes salt less, with what will you season? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another. (Mark 9:50)". The greatest unfulfilled desire of mankind is the love and closeness for companionship with other fellowmen. But the lack of SALT leads our lives away with "Now the works of the flesh are clearly revealed, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lustfulness, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, fighting's, jealousies, angers, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envying, murders, drunkenness's, revelings, and things like these; of which I tell you before, as I also said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)". The SALT is love of GOD manifested through his only begotten SON JESUS CHRIST. Whether you like it or not "For EVERYONE shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. (Mark 9:49)" The fire of GOD i.e.  Holy SPIRIT brings the ingredients of SALT in us "But the fruit of the Spirit is: love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control; against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)"

So do not forget the without salt there is no taste in food, similarly no taste in our lives without JESUS CHRIST. As Paul had said: "What then? Nevertheless, in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached. And I rejoice in this. Yet, also I will rejoice. (Philippians 1:18)" So become seasoned with salt i.e. love of GOD thorough JESUS CHRIST.

GOD BLESS YOU IN CHRIST's GRACE..
AMEN
