On October 2, 1864, a particularly bloody battle came about within the Civil Conflict because the Union forces attacked the Confederacy in Virginia. Though the Accomplice military was grossly undermanned on this battle, they rose up, mounted a fierce protection, and staved off their enemy. Roughly 500 males misplaced their lives that day in just some hours of intense preventing.
What motivated the Confederates to battle as they did that day? They had been preventing over salt (the Battle of Saltville).
The Confederates knew in the event that they misplaced the salt mine, they might not protect their armies’ meals rations… and whole defeat could be imminent.

Salt is current in each cell of our our bodies. Salt is in our blood, our sweat, our tears, and our saliva. The Romans used to say there was nothing extra vital than solar and salt. Certainly, salt is important to life.
CHRISTIANS ARE SALT
Within the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus likened His followers to salt. Believers are “the salt of the earth.” What are we to study from this analogy?
1. Salt offers seasoning. Simply as salt brings out the flavour of meals, we as Christians are to convey taste to our properties, our colleges, our jobs, our neighborhoods, and our communities. In every single place we go, the candy aroma of Jesus is to be surrounding our lives and impacting these with whom we are available contact (see 2 Corinthians 2:14).
2. Salt offers therapeutic. The sterilizing properties of salt make it worthwhile as a drugs. Wounds can heal extra shortly with the addition of salt. However, as everyone knows, salt burns in a wound. It hurts because it heals. We too are to convey therapeutic to a sick, sin-filled world as we communicate the reality in love.
Little question, the reality will burn and sting, however conviction is important for true therapeutic to happen. Discover that Jesus calls us to be salt, not honey. Honey is great and candy, but it surely can not convey the therapeutic that salt does.

three. Salt preserves in opposition to corruption. This was salt’s most vital operate within the days earlier than refrigeration. Meat and fish could be packed in salt to push back corruption. In like method, the presence of a Christian in any area of life ought to make an enormous distinction in that place. Bear in mind, God wouldn’t have destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities of the plains had he discovered ten righteous individuals residing there. Simply “ten grains” of salt would have preserved 1000’s of lives.
four. Salt can get contaminated. Whereas sodium chloride is a just about indestructible compound that doesn’t lose its saltiness, it may possibly get polluted by different minerals. In Israel, the salt got here from the Lifeless Sea. It was not refined. Gypsum and sand might simply combine with the salt crystals, diluting and compromising the savor. Contaminated salt couldn’t fulfill its objective. It was good for nothing and helpful to nobody. The folks must throw it out on the street.
As salt, Christians should guard in opposition to defilement and contamination from the world. If we love the world, “the love of the Father just isn’t in us” (1 John 2:15). If we don’t “come out from their midst and be separate” (2 Corinthians 6:17), we’ll lose our means to season, heal, and protect.
THE NEED OF THE HOUR
Our world desperately must style some salty Christians—individuals who maintain quick to the Lord and His Phrase and dwell within the energy of the Holy Spirit. Apparently, Paul tells us earlier than the approaching of the Lord there might be a falling away from the religion (2 Thessalonians 2:three). The salt will lose its savor and its effectiveness. When the salt turns into tasteless, destruction just isn’t far behind. Jesus mentioned when He returns, the world might be as corrupt because it was within the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37) and the times of Lot (Luke 17:28).
So… will you arise and be counted? Will you ask the Lord to take away any air pollution out of your life so you’ll be able to fulfill your objective of being His salty witness to a misplaced and dying world? The time is NOW for Christians to get critical about being pure and undefiled salt! If not, corruption will run rampant on planet earth till God has had sufficient.
Bear in mind, somewhat salt goes a great distance as ten righteous folks might have preserved Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim. Might we see the strategic function we play because the Lord’s ambassadors and stand within the hole for the land.
In regards to the Creator.
