In Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus declares that his disciples are the salt of the earth and the light of the world.

To replace or twist the preaching of justification of sinners by God’s free mercy in Christ alone is for the church to lose its saltiness and hide its witness to the world. Listen to the sermon here.
