By definition an influence is different from whatever it seeks to affect, which means that if we live as salt and light, we will be different from the world we are called to impact.

We cannot be the salt that retards moral corruption and spiritual decline if there is no difference in our actions, attitudes and associations.

Light cannot lose its essence, but it is constantly at risk of becoming obscure in a believer’s life.

No matter what our excuse, if we fail to live as spiritual lights and moral examples we exhibit unfaithfulness towards Christ and are ineffective for His cause.
