Jesus used the metaphors of salt and light to describe the impact on society of God’s people who walk out the 8 Beatitudes (Mt. 5:13-16). Jesus sees the world as filled with moral decay and spiritual darkness. He describes believers as salt and light and unbelievers as the earth and world.

To be poor in spirit is to be aware that we are in great need of experiencing spiritual growth in our heart, ministry, church, and society. It is to see ourselves as spiritually poor instead of spiritually rich, in terms of our ability to experience and impart spiritual life without the Spirit.

The Sermon on the Mount is the constitution of God’s kingdom. It is Jesus’ most comprehensive statement about a believer’s role in cooperating with the grace of God and is the “litmus test” to accurately measure our spiritual development and ministry impact.
