THINGS TO KNOW TO BE A DISCIPLE OF JESUS CHRIST
YOU ARE THE..
-
1. SALT OF THE EARTH
“You are the salt of the earth" but if the salt has lost its taste purpose, how can it be made salty? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and walked on by people. - Matthew 5:13

2. LIGHT OF THE WORLD
You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.
Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and recognize and honor and glorify your Father who is in heaven. - Matthew 5:14-16
DO NOT...

1. THINK I CAME TO UNDO THE LAW OF MOSES
Do not think that I came to do away with or undo the Law of Moses or the writings of the Prophets; I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.
For I assure you and most solemnly say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke [of the pen] will pass from the Law until all things are accomplished.
So whoever breaks one of the least [important] of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, will be called least [important] in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them, he will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. - Matthew 5:17-19
