Mar 9:49 | MHM | STEP | v. 49–50 : Jesus said, For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be salted with salt (Mark 9:49 ). Just as sacrifices in the Old Testament were salted to make them acceptable to God (Leviticus 2:13 ), believers must go through trials and self-discipline to purify their lives. He added, Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another (Mark 9:50 ). This means we should have the "salt" of grace and godliness in our lives, which preserves us from sin and helps us live in harmony with others.
