Matthew 5:13
Ye are the salt of the earth. Salt preserves from corruption.
The disciples of Christ preserve the world from general corruption.
Whatever becomes utterly corrupted is doomed to be destroyed.
But if the salt have lost its savour. Salt is worthless if it
has lost its qualities. It preserves no longer. It is fit only to be
cast out and trodden under foot. So, too, if those who are the salt of
the earth cease to communicate saving power, they are fit only to be
cast out, and Christ will cast such out of his mouth. See Revelation 3:16.
