Jesus referred to his followers as “salt.” Salt is a preservative. Governments with a proper respect for human dignity and development will discover that Christians flourishing among their citizenry will ultimately contribute to good will and stability in society. Love thy neighbor–and do unto them as you would have them do unto you–ultimately goes a long way toward promoting peace and good works among any population of people. Thus does the Christian faith, when allowed to function freely in any nation, preserves civility, as salt preserves food.
