God’s Fragrance (# 96)
You know, that one you can’t do without. That one which has become your signature
scent.
Yes, that one!
What is my favourite perfume?
Hmmn…wouldn’t you like to know!!
Yes, that one!
Come to think of it, what is God’s perfume? Hmmn…
We are, of course. Here’s
what 2 Corinthians 14b-16 says:
“Now he [God] uses us to spread the knowledge of Christ
everywhere, like a sweet perfume. 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. 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?”
Wow! What an awesome task
and responsibility – to be seen as God’s fragrance.
Through us the world gets a picture of what God is like. The objective is to draw others to Him, to
portray His godliness, holiness, compassion, love, justice and all the noble virtues
that characterize our God.
Can we do this – perfume the world for Christ?
Yes we can.
With God’s help and by His grace we can.
