Salt spiritually parallels God's Spirit and Word preserving us by faith, therefore we become His Light of the world.  When we (the body of Christ) carefully preserve God's authorized word from generation to generation, He in turn preserves us for eternity.

 

Matthew 5:13-16

13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

​

Psalms 12:6-7

6The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

​

Psalms 119:1-8  Walk in God's Ways 

1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.
2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
4 Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

7 I will praise thee with uprightness [honesty and integrity] of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

​

​

John 14:21

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth [preserve, defend, and protect] them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

​

Notice the King James spelling of "savour" in the Salt parable, which is close to the King James spelling of "Saviour" in Isaiah 43:11. "I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour."

​

The "i" in Saviour is the single "eye" of Matthew 6:22-23

​

22 "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!"

​

Notice also that with the "i", Saviour is 7 letters not 6.

​

If we lose or reject our Saviour Jesus Christ then we are good for nothing and will be cast out from heaven (second death)!  

​

Revelation 2:11

He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

 

Revelation 21:7-8

7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
