Jesús rios : Personally, I don't like food without salt, it doesn't taste like anything. Salt is a very necessary ingredient for life, just as we Christians are, we are indispensable to the world, we must preach with enthusiasm and love towards those who do not know the world. Lord Jesus Christ, take us away for the kingdom of heaven, being an example for them to follow an exemplary conduct and thus please GOD

Just as salt is a necessary ingredient for life, we Christians are also indispensable to the world.

Rosa María 
: This one is wonderful. Devotional and even more wonderful my Lord Jesus of Nazareth when comparing us with salt
Saint Matthew 5:13
[13]"You are the salt of this world. But if the salt is no longer salty, how can it regain its flavor? It is no longer good for anything, so it is thrown out into the street and people trample on it. AND
as it says in John 10: 14 I am the good shepherd and I know my sheep, and mine know me, 15 just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.
And in other verses more.
His love for his creation is so great that he wants us to follow his example so that everyone can be saved and free us from evil and live eternally by his side.
Thank you wonderful God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit Amen and Amen.
May the Lord keep and bless you always 🙏

May the Lord keep and bless you always 🙏Answer: What beautiful words, Rosa María! It is really wonderful how Jesus compares us to salt and calls us to be the positive influence in this world. As you mention, in Matthew 5:13 Jesus tells us that we are the salt of this world and that we must preserve our flavor, in order to make a difference and bring the gospel message to others. And in John 10:14-15, Jesus presents himself as the good shepherd who knows his sheep and gives himself up for them. Truly, his love for us is infinite and his desire is that everyone be saved and live eternally by his side. May God always bless you and guide you in your walk with Him. Amen! (Ephesians 2:4-5)
