(NASB) 2 Corinthians 2:14 “But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.”

God always leads me in triumph, not defeat!  God always leads me in Christ, I need to yield to Him.

God always leads to manifest (to reveal) Christ Jesus through me.  Leading me to reveal the sweet aroma of knowledge of Christ every place I walk.

What if I snip at anyone?  Am I being a sweet aroma of the knowledge of Christ at that moment?  Don’t think so!  This is why I need Jesus to save me from my sins.  Whether I snip privately or publicly, it is still sin.  I need forgiveness for that sin!

It is through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ that I am forgiven.  Nothing I say or do can deliver me from that sin; it is faith alone in Christ, by which I must live.  “…the righteous will live by faith.”  NIV Romans 1:17

Because I am a child of God, I am saved by His grace through my faith in the Lord Jesus.
(NASB) 1 John 1:9-10 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10 If we say we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.”

~ Take it to heart ~

(NASB) 2 Corinthians 2:14 “But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place.”

I am forgiven!  I am freed from guilt!  My Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ has done all that is needed for me to be freed.  Christ is leading me in triumph!  Now I am a sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place… I am freed from true guilt of that sin.

My life is to reveal what Christ has done for me!

Forgiven!

Freed!

A sweet aroma indeed!
