4. Biblical Definition of Influence
V.13. You are like salt for everyone on earth. But if salt no longer tastes like salt, how
can it make food taste salted? All it is good for is to be thrown out and walked on.
V.14. You are like light for the whole world. A city built on top of a hill that cannot be
hidden,
V.15. and no one would light a lamp and put it under a clay pot. A lamp is placed on a
stand, where it can give light to everyone in the house.
V.16. Make your light shine, so that others will see the good that you do and will praise
your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:13-16 (CEV)
