Fire , Salt and Light

                   
Mar 9:47 ASV - And if thine eye cause thee to stumble, cast it out: it is good for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell;
Mar 9:48 ASV - where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Mar 9:49 ASV - For every one shall be salted with fire.
Mar 9:50 ASV - Salt is good: but if the salt have lost its saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace one with another.    Saltness    Greek: artuo  Season (Verb):to arrange, make ready" (cp. artios, "fitted"), is used of "seasoning," Mar 9:50; Luk 14:34; Col 4:6.
Salted with fire ,  Salt is a seasoning it brings out a flavor like no other seasoning .   Jesus is comparing Salt and Fire together they are running parallel with each other .   With out the fire of God in our lives we can have no salt or prudence in our hearts .
And to be salted with the fire of God in our daily life's we become wise to our actions .   
The bible says God chasten those whom he loves. .                                                                                                                                    
1Pe 1:6 ASV - Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, ye have been put to grief in manifold trials,
1Pe 1:7 ASV - that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold that perisheth though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ:
  Heb 12:7 ASV - It is for chastening that ye endure; God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father chasteneth not?
Heb 12:8 ASV - But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Heb 12:11 ASV - All chastening seemeth for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit unto them that have been exercised thereby, even the fruit of righteousness.       
  As you see in the verses above every child of God will be tried in his daily walk ,  it is our fathers way of getting our attention  .        But if ye are without chastening, whereof all have been made partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.     And Jesus said every one shall be salted with fire.  John said the one come after me will Baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with FIRE ! 
  Jhn 1:12-13   But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:       who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.   Your father is changing your spiritual identity from being born of this world to being born a son of God.   The word Son here makes a powerful comparision .  Son   Greek: teknon  Child, Children, Childbearing, Childish, Childless:    "a child" (akin to tikto, "to beget, bear"), is used in both the natural and the figurative senses. In contrast to huios, "son" (see below), it gives prominence to the fact of birth, whereas huios stresses the dignity and character of the relationship. Figuratively, teknon is used of "children" of    Jesus came in his fathers name and we come in the name of Jesus .  Jesus is the pattern we follow if we are born of his blood than we are born of his nature and character for the life is in the blood. 
                                                                
Eph 1:7 ASV - in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,
Eph 1:8 ASV - which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,  Prudence Greek: phronesis  Wisdom:  "understanding, prudence," i.e., a right use of phren, "the mind," is translated "wisdom" in Luk 1:17.    PRU'DENCE, n. L. prudentia. Wisdom applied to practice.
Pro 19:25 ASV - Smite a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; And reprove one that hath understanding, and he will understand knowledge.   King David wrote in Psalms Lord in my getting let me get wisdom and in my getting of wisdom Lord let me get understanding .  In the world we live today there are many wise people who have a worldly wisdom but they must have understanding also to use that wisdom wisely .  1Co 3:19 ASV - For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:
Salt is prudence and Fire is wisdom  ,  When we get burned in our flesh we remember that experience for ever and are careful of fire from than on.   Mat 5:12 ASV - Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.
Mat 5:13 ASV - Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.  Jesus is comparing this Godly experience of being salted with fire to Light he is saying that in your daily walk receive the correction of God your father in your life realizing it is the Fire that came with the Holy Ghost in you molding you and forming you into that son God has called. 
Mat 5:14 ASV - Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid.
Mat 5:15 ASV - Neither do men light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house.
Mat 5:16 ASV - Even so let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Eph 1:9 ASV - making known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him.      Col 1:27 ASV - to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:    
Phl 3:10 ASV - that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed unto his death;

Jhn 16:7 ASV - Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.
Jhn 16:8 ASV - And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:  
We must have the Holy spirit living in us and working out our salvation unto righteousness.
Jhn 16:9 ASV - of sin, because they believe not on me;  It says that the Holy Spirit will Convict of sin and we need the spirit in our life's convicting us of sin known or unknown ,   and working with us as to living in all righteousness ,  and to convict us of the fear of God in our life's to fear God is a clean fear . The church today does not fear God ,   he is not only a God of love but a God of wrath

Jhn 16:10 ASV - of righteousness, because I go to the Father, and ye behold me no more;
Jhn 16:11 ASV - of judgment, because the prince of this world hath been judged.

Psa 51:6 ASV - Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts; And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.
Psa 51:7 ASV - Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 
  God commanded Moses to have the people kill a lamb and catch the blood of the Lamb in a basin and take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood of the lamb and Strike the lintel .    And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side-posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning.   Exo 12:23 ASV - For Jehovah will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side-posts, Jehovah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.     The hyssop was an aromatic herb and a form of medicine to the Israelite's . Strike the side post and the lintel with the blood 
Isa 53:10 ASV - Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.   Gods children are the seed of Christ in his offering and Christ living in you is to prolong his days it is Christ in you the hope of glory.
When Moses took the hyssop and the blood and struck the lintel with force and the side post , there was a sweet aromatic oder that filled the whole area a savor of Gods son his sacrifice for you and I and God was pleased . God was seeing mankind and their sin and Jesus is the only remedy for our souls.  He is that savor that pleased his father.
