Salty Christians

Lev. 2.11-13 to recap:, the burnt offering
  • 2.11 no leaven in meal offerings (to be given as given to us by the Lord)
  • 2.12 first fruit offerings never to be burned on the alter (to acknowledge the ONE who gave it in the first place
  • 2.13 every offering, season with salt ("salty Christian)
Salt

  1. preserves - (perseverance of the saints)
  2. adds flavor - (God puts a mark on those that belong to Him, they are "unique" in their way(s) contrary to the ways of the world)
  3. makes one thirsty -(because of the witness of the power of the Holy Ghost, others will be "thirsty" for the kind of life observed in a real saint of God)
In short, the burnt offering should always be viewed and given with the utmost solemnity and soberness.
