Mark 9:49
Sacrifices in the Old Testament were offered with salt. So, Jesus is saying two things here on the basis of this one principle of salting the sacrifice. First, the fires of hell serve as salt on the condemned. They are preserved from annihilation, but ever-tormented. Second, spiritual salt serves as a preservative in the life of Christians.
Heavenly Father, thank you for preserving us from condemnation! You are worthy of all of our praise. You have given us a way of escape, and I praise you for it and your goodness. Thank you! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
