Salt and Light Bible Passage

“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 5:13-16)

In this verse, Jesus compares us to salt. Just like salt adds flavor to food, we're called to bring goodness and God's love into the world. You are like a city on a hill that can't be hidden. This means that as a follower of Jesus, your life should shine brightly and show others the love and goodness of God. God doesn't want us to hide our faith. Just like a lamp gives light to a room, we should let our faith shine to guide others. In this verse, Jesus is telling us to let our good deeds shine out for all to see. This way, people will praise our heavenly Father. It's like being a bright light in a dark room.

God Bless Everyone!😇💗

One of our goals has finally been achieved. This retreat and fellowship aimed to inspire more young people to join church activities and, most importantly, to build a closer relationship with Christ. As our supreme task says, “𝐓𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐦 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧.”☝🏻❤️

This fellowship allowed us to enjoy, bond, and grow together while acknowledging the goodness and faithfulness of God in our lives. Through every activity, worship, and moment of fellowship, we were reminded of His love and guidance.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to our new friend from Bicutan UMC, Cheska Sapnay, for joining the Summer Institute and staying with us for several days. Thank you for the joy you brought, for your inspiring teachings to the youth, and for your willingness to be part of this journey with us. Your presence truly made the experience more meaningful and memorable.🫂💗

This is a living testimony of how great our God is. Through this retreat and fellowship, we witnessed His faithfulness, love, and goodness in every heart touched and every life inspired. May this be a reminder that with Christ at the center, lives can truly be changed, strengthened, and renewed. All glory and honor belong to God alone.🫶🏻✨
