Jesus told Christians to be the salt of the world.
Matthew 5:13
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses it saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.”
What did Jesus command us with this verse? What should we do to be the salt of the earth?
