How do you smell?

14 But thank God! He has made us his captives and continues to lead us along in Christ's triumphal procession. Now he uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ everywhere, like a sweet perfume. 15 Our lives are a Christ-like fragrance rising up to God. But this fragrance is perceived differently by those who are being saved and by those who are perishing. 16 To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life-giving perfume. And who is adequate for such a task as this? 17 You see, we are not like the many hucksters who preach for personal profit. We preach the word of God with sincerity and with Christ's authority, knowing that God is watching us.

2Cor 2:14-17

How does your life "smell". If we live our lives entertaining the world are we really living for Christ. The scriptures tell us that we will smell of death and doom to those who aren't in Christ. Take a look at your life and the things you find yourself doing most often. Then ask yourself, am I a sweet smelling insence to God? Or do I smell like the world. As for me, it's my prayer that each day I become more like our savior Christ. So, that when the world smells my fragrance and they are stricken with fear of death and doom that they will turn to Him. The only One who can save us from the impending death that is sin. I pray that you too are an enticing scent to our Lord so that others may come to know Him. May the Lord's blessing rest upon each of you as you live undignified.


In Christ, Your brother,
