                      words, they are saying Christians should go out into the

                      world and prevent a world where injustice, corruption and
                      sin are prevalent. So it means that they are connecting

                      the Word to these moral things. However, what Jesus said
                      ‘You are the salt of the earth’, is that salt itself tastes salty.

                      Now, He tells us that just as the salty taste of salt does not
                      change, so the covenant which God will send a Savior who

                      will save humans from their sins, is a covenant that does
                      not change like salt, and so it is to say that in this way Je-

                      sus, the Savior, finally has come to forgive man’s sins and

                      given us life. Therefore, haven’t we gotten that life? So, if
                      you believe in Jesus and are forgiven of your sins and have
                      eternal life, there must be a life that reveals the things that

                      are required qualification for the beatitudes—The words

                      of the Beatitudes are written in the Matthew Chapter 5,
                      which Jesus taught on the mountainside. So, practically it
                      adds one more, and is called the nine beatitudes. It means

                      that what He said ‘You are the salt of the earth’ refers to

                      a life that reveals the characteristics of blessings to the
                      world. Since Jesus has been a sacrifice to reconcile God

                      and man, so if you believe in that Jesus who came through
                      the covenant of salt, and if you have become a reconciled

                      relationship with God, you should show to people who Je-
                      sus is by revealing the forgiveness of God who has forgiven
