62 “Every offering of your meal offering you shall season with salt.”

Leviticus 2:13

 Every offering of the meal of our lives, we make before the Lord, and should be seasoned with the salt of holiness. We do not come before the Lord on our own merits but on the merits of Christ and in the light of the covenant God made to save us and redeem us from sin. We cannot come to God on our own merits or with the tainted deeds that we daily perform, but must have the salt of the goodness of Christ in our offerings to the Lord.

“You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.”

 Matthew 5:13

 When we come to Christ in repentance and faith we receive the salt of His holiness that makes us fit to stand before the Lord or to come to the mercy seat in prayer. Only in the imputed righteousness of Christ can we come to God. We have no standing in ourselves but must be hidden in the holiness of our Saviour. We must remain in that love and not waver in our daily tasks as we live for Him. If our holiness is not practiced, then we have no standing before the Lord. Those who fall away cannot again be renewed, accept for the righteousness of Christ. Only He can make us worthy and keep us day by day, Let us pray for a constant desire for that holiness and to stay faithful each day.

 Holiness to the Lord is our daily desire…Let us live in holiness of life.
