FAITH CAPSULE: What kind of a believer are you?

Matthew 5:1-16

In life, the word of God (command of God) demands nothing but for all to be fully obedient with no iota of middle ground.
To be fully obedient is living life by the word of God.
To be fully obedient to the word of God will please God to provoke the blessing of God.
Living a life of disobedience is bound to provoke the curse of God. 
Are you partially obedient to the word of God as in the middle? 
Are you like water that is not warm or cold? 
The book of revelation talked about the middle ground, “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.” (Revelation 3:15-16) 
As an acclaimed believer, you are either one who contributes to your world as a preserver or one who contributes as a non-preserver (destroyer). 
In the Bible days, there was no refrigerator for preserving food but salt. Jesus likens salt to be as the life of a believer.
Jesus points out that a believer should be responsible for impacting changes to the environment such as their workplace, neighborhood, and family gatherings. 
Salt, as a preserver, means believers should be agents of preserving the decaying world of sin and iniquity around them. Instead, the world is the one that is changing believers lately. 
The believers today should not be changed by the affairs of this world if they cannot change the world. 
It is not enough to be fluent in Bible verses if the character does not support the fluency of the word in the mouth. 
The majority of believers appear to be quiet, claiming that they do not want to offend any by their belief. 
What kind of a believer are you?
Does the question point to you?
Imagine this, in the world of a kitchen where there is salt, how can it be that every food coming out is tasteless and unacceptable?
Question yourself why your world is tasteless in your presence as salt that answers to the calling of God? 
Jesus said in Matthew 5:13, “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men”. 
The salt in the kitchen where food is tasteless and unacceptable does not affect its world, to have lost its flavor. 
Are you like salt in a kitchen with no effect? 
The salt that is not effective has lost its purpose. 
According to Jesus, salt becomes an underfoot material when it cannot preserve. 
What kind of salt are you? 
Boldness in quoting the Word without Godly character to back it up will continue to make you a powerless believer. 
You are to be a salt that seasons your world with good and acceptable contributions to the glory of God.
Think and search to identify: what kind of a believer are you?

Prayer for today: Ask from God to enable you to be salt for your world.
