In the Arab countries the agreement was sealed with a gift of salt to show the strength and permanence of the contract.
“Season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not leave the salt of the covenant of your God out of your grain offerings; add salt to all your offerings.” Leviticus 2:13.
In Matthew 5:13 believers are called to be the “salt of the earth.”
Let the salt you use everyday remind you that you are one of God’s covenant people who should actively strengthen the contract between a Holy God and the world He created.
The permanence of the contract comes as we are surrounded daily by His love and grace and as we are rewarded with eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Have a blessed day!
In Christian love,
