kjv@Matthew:5:13@ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
kjv@Matthew:5:14@ Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
kjv@Matthew:5:15@ Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
kjv@Matthew:5:16@ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Believers in Jesus 'are' this by no work of their own therefore they should continue to 'be' this. Should we abide in this (His completed work and grace) we will by nature produce worshipful works to His glory and praise, good works preordained that we should walk in. Should we step outside of that by again striving for selfish favor or personal salvation, though we 'are' salt our salt loses it's savor, though still light our light becomes hid. This is not a permanent situation if we repent and get back on course, it is a permanent situation only if we insist on trying to produce our own works towards salvation/favor.
