(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.”

  Triumph!  Victory!  Thanks be to God, He leads all followers of Christ in triumph.  We go forward into today with assurance that our lives are a sweet aroma to those around us.  Our lives are to be a sweet aroma of the knowledge we have in Christ every place we are!!!

(NASB) 2 Corinthians 2:15-16 “For we are a fragrance of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing;
16 to the one an aroma from death to death, to the other an aroma from life to life… ”

Followers of Christ – our lives are important.  Our faith in Christ Jesus is important and our lives make a statement of our beliefs.

We are witnesses to many of our Lord Jesus Christ.  We are to show others our faith in the living Lord Jesus.

At times, it is easy to forget that our faith is not to be in ourselves, other people, our feelings, our jobs, our money, or even where we live… our faith is to be in our Savior, Jesus!

We are a fragrance of Christ to God!  Think about that!  How our God must be pleased when we tell others of Jesus and their need of Jesus.

We have great good news for those who do not have Jesus as their Savior.  They too, can have life through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

We have a great message to share with others.  We have been given life!  Not death!

Our responsibility is to be “a fragrance of Christ” as we walk through this day!  Those to whom we share the good news of Jesus Christ will be responsible in what they choose.  They do have a choice — to continue being dead to faith in Christ or to know Christ as their Savior and receive life!

~ Take it to heart ~

I am responsible to be the “fragrance of Christ” today.
