Salt Life: A Time for Accountability

 Every man would someday give an account of how they lived their lives and what they did with and in their bodies, Rom 14:12.

The salter has great expectations of and from the salt, He expects that the salt would carry on its role perfectly, Gen 1:27, Deut 8:18; He also expects that whatever He commits to the salt would be preserved until his coming Jude 3.

Someday soon, the Lord would ask in expectation from the salt what happened to the earth, just as anyone preserving would expect the food to remain intact after the storage/preservation period. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be, Rev 22:12.

The 25^th chapter of Matthew tells of a master who had three servants to whom he had committed his business because he was to embark on a journey for a period. He told them to occupy till he returned; he returned and demanded accountability. In like manner, the Lord would return and demand same from us; This runs a parallel message and concept on the saltine expectation.

The master would be back and He would ask questions, give gifts, rewards and also apportion punishments to whoever deserves it.
