Those who are baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ make covenants. In modern revelation, the Lord declared, "When men are called unto mine everlasting gospel, and covenant with an everlasting covenant, they are accounted as the salt of the earth and the savor of men." To perform our covenant duty as the salt of the earth, we must be different from those around us. As Jesus taught, "I give unto you to be the salt of the earth. But if the salt shall lose its savor, wherewith shall the earth be salted? The salt shall thenceforth be good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the foot of man." This requires us to make some changes from our family culture, our ethnic culture, or our national culture. We must change all elements of our behavior that are in conflict with gospel commandments, covenants, and culture.
