Jesus Christ has made us the salt of the earth as an offering to the Lord. 

Ezekiel 43:24

“When you offer them before the Lord, the priests shall throw salt on them, and they will offer them up as a burnt offering to the Lord.” Ezekiel 43:24

We know today that Jesus Christ has replaced the need for earthly ministers because we go directly to the Spirit of God through Jesus Christ. We are made the temple of the Holy Spirit by the cleansing and sanctifying blood of our Lord Jesus. Salt is a symbol of purification and preservation, so the earthly priests are not the ones who throws salt on us after we offer ourselves to God through Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus is our Priest, our only Minister, who throws the purifying and preserving salt upon our soul and spirit, “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.” Matthew 5:13 Jesus Christ offers us up to God as the salt of the earth.

….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.
I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
