When I was a kid, I used to hear a lot: " You are salt and light in this world!" , and I guess that everyone who grew up in church heard of it at least one time. So we all know that, but are we living acording to our identity?
Ephesians 5 :8 says" For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light!"

thank you, fabiana, for reminding us of such an important truth--that we are to live as children of the light.
Jesus reminds us that if you are a christian, it will be apparent to everyone.
there is no such thing as a christian who does not make known their "christianity".
"a city on the hill CANNOT be hidden. neither do people light a lamp and PUT IT UNDER A BOWL. instead they PUT IT ON A STAND, and it GIVES LIGHT TO EVERYONE IN THE HOUSE" (v 14-15).
how obvious is our faith supposed to be?
as obvious as light in a completely dark room or salt in totally bland food. in other words, all the difference in the world.
what we are inside will eventually make itself known.
light or darkness.
Fabiana... you are so right, we've all heard it growing up in church that we are to be salt and light... but you know what, I need reminders! thank you for your reflection... :)
Thank you for your posting Fabi!
Yeah, it's so easy to live my life betraying these verses. We gotta be worthy people for everyone like salt in food and light in darkness.
