Mat 5:12-16 CEV Be happy and excited! You will have a great reward in heaven. People did these same things to the prophets who lived long ago. (13) You are like salt for everyone on earth. But if salt no longer tastes like salt, how can it make food salty? All it is good for is to be thrown out and walked on. (14) You are like light for the whole world. A city built on top of a hill cannot be hidden, (15) and no one would light a lamp and put it under a clay pot. A lamp is placed on a lampstand, where it can give light to everyone in the house. (16) Make your light shine, so that others will see the good that you do and will praise your Father in heaven.
People are in darkness and their lives are flavorless. But we as Christians can make a difference in people's lives by being "good" Christians and doing good things for other people.
God created us to do good things
Mat 5:16 GNB In the same way your light must shine before people, so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in heaven.
1Ti 6:17-19 MKJV Charge the rich in this world that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, He offering to us richly all things to enjoy, (18) that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to share, to be generous, (19) laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
In the above verse we can see that God is not against us being rich. The purpose of us being rich is so that we can help other people. We are called to be generous.
Psa 37:3-6 GW Trust the LORD, and do good things. Live in the land, and practice being faithful. (4) Be happy with the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart. (5) Entrust your ways to the LORD. Trust him, and he will act on your behalf. (6) He will make your righteousness shine like a light, your just cause like the noonday sun.
From the above verse we can see the following five things
- If we trust in God it will always lead us to be salt and light and do good things
- Being faithful is a choice. It is something that can be practiced
- If we trust God he will act on our behalf - God will always have our back
- Trust God and your light will always shine VERY bright
- As long as you are happy in God and your identity is in your relationship with Jesus Christ your desire will NEVER be carnal. It will always be godly
