In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus makes two powerful identity statements about His followers: 'You are the salt of the earth' and 'You are the light of the world.' This isn't something Christians should aspire to become but rather it's who they already are in Christ. This powerful teaching challenges believers to embrace their God-given identity fully, commit to showing God's love in grace and truth, and do God’s works defined by him and for his glory. If you're seeking to understand your purpose as a Christian or wondering how to live authentically in today's world, this message offers biblical insight on being salt and light in a way that glorifies God.
