• You are the salt of the earth but if the salt
  has become tasteless, how can it be made salty
  again? It is no longer good for anything, except
  to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.
  You are the light of the world. A city set
  on a hill cannot be hidden nor does anyone light
  a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lamp
  stand, and it gives light to all who are in the
  house.
• Matthew 513-16 (NASB)

4
Our Purpose

• Let your light shine before men in such a way
  that they may see your good works, and glorify
  your Father who is in heaven.
• Matthew 516 (NASB)

5
Our Purpose

• Let your light shine . . .
• Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart,
  as working for the Lord, not for men, since you
  know that you will receive an inheritance from
  the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you
  are serving.
• Colossians 323-24 (NIV)

6
Our Purpose

• . . . before men in such a way that they may see
  your good works . . .
• A new commandment I give to you, that you love
  one another, even as I have loved you, that you
  also love one another. By this all men will know
  that you are My disciples, if you have love for
  one another.
• John 1334-35 (NASB)

7
Our Purpose

• . . . and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
• Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders,
  making the most of the opportunity. Let your
  speech always be with grace, as though seasoned
  with salt, so that you will know how you should
  respond to each person.
• Colossians 45-6 (NASB)
