The Greek word halas

Found just a few times in the New Testament (Mt. 5:13; Mk. 9:50; Lk. 14:34; Col. 4:6), the Greek noun “halas” described “salt.”

God’s people are to be the “salt of the earth” (Mt. 5:13; Mk. 9:50). Even the speech of Christians is compared to “salt” (Col. 4:6). Salt is often very evident in food, and the influence of a Christian should be very evident in the world.
