SALT IS GOOD 2

DAILY GRACE WEDS. 22ND MAR, 2017 SALT IS GOOD 2 MARK 9: 50 A new day is here again. It shall be a profitable day of fulfilment for you. Receive fresh wisdom and understanding of His will in Jesus' name. "Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another." Looking further into the goodness of salt, we can see here that those that present not themselves living sacrifices to God of all grace, shall be made forever dying sacrifices to His justice, and since they would not give honour to him, he will get himself honour upon them; they would not be salted with the salt of divine grace, would not admit that to subdue their corrupt affections, no, they would not submit to the operation, could not bear the corrosives that were necessary to eat out the proud flesh, it was to them like cutting off a hand, or plucking out an eye; and therefore in hell they shall be salted with fire; coals of fire shall be scattered upon them (Ezek. 10:2), as salt upon the meat, and brimstone (Job 18:15), as fire and brimstone were rained on Sodom. The pleasures such people have lived in, shall eat their flesh, as it were with fire (Jam. 5:3). The pain of mortifying the flesh now is no more to be compared with the punishment for not mortifying it, then salting with burning; and since he had said, that the fire of hell shall not be quenched, but it might be objected, that the fuel will not last always, he then intimates here that by the power of God it shall be made to last always; for those that are cast into hell, will find the fire to have not only the corroding quality of salt, but its preserving quality; whence it is used to signify that which is lasting. A covenant of salt is a perpetual covenant, and Lot’s wife being turned into a pillar of salt, made her a monument of divine vengeance. Now since this will certainly be the doom of those that do not crucify the flesh with its affections and lusts, let us, knowing this terror of the Lord, be persuaded by it to live according to His good pleasure. Enjoy your day! Personal Confession: Lord Jesus, make my life a reflection of a good salt in Jesus' name. Read, Reflect and rebroadcast to bless someone. God will bless you in return.
