However, unless we cut to the heart of people, they will never change. War is dirty and painful, and we are at war with the world in order to change it. We will be persecuted, but in it all, we will be faithful to Jesus and will preserve the world. It is than that the world is made to listen to her message, though it may hate it at first. Not only are the people in Jesus' Kingdom salt to preserve the world, they are also light to brighten it.
Society is dark.
The world is black because of sin. Only righteousness lightens the world. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. Furthermore, the world loves the darkness. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
