What Do You Smell Like?

When we wash and cleanup before our day begins many of us put perfume on so we'll smell great to those who come into our presence. The fragrance is sent out from us continually all day long even when we forget it is happening. This is the picture the Apostle Paul uses to show how we "smell" to those who know and don't know the Lord.

2 Corinthians 2:15-17 15 For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. 16 To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life.

To some the smell of perfume is death because they are allergic to the odour. Perfume makes them sick. The gospel is also the same to many. When the gospel is shared with some they are repelled by the very words of Christ. They want nothing to do with the Lord and His gospel.

To some the smell of the gospel is sweet and the drink in the odour like a sweet taste of heave. They love to hear the old, old story of Jesus on the cross. The gospel is great in any and every language.

Who are you? Do you love the odour of the gospel? Are you putting the perfume of the gospel on every morning? When people are close to you do they pick up the scent?

You can put the perfume on by visiting and believing - Romans 10:-10!
