THE AROMA OF CHRIST

Thanks be to God who:

Always leads/causes/makes us in triumph procession in Christ.

• We can do all things through Christ, our strength
• Nothing is impossible with God.
• God leads us from victory to victory, Glory to glory.

And through us spreads/manifests/reveals everywhere the fragrance/sweet aroma/flavour/perfume of His knowledge in every place.

• We are His, to manifest His great woks.
• Vessels of His glory and praise,
• Created to worship his majesty.

To God, we are the sweet aroma/sweet fragrance/sweet perfume/savour/good odour to the saved and them that are perishing/being lost.

To one we are, a smell/an aroma/fragrance/odour/savour  from death to death

•   Your presence spells death to sin.
•   2 deaths, the physical and the second death as in Rev 20:14

     The lake of fire is the second death.

To the other, a sweet aroma/fragrance/ flavour/perfume of life to life.

•  We have already died so all we have left is to live and live more abundantly.

Count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

 Rom 6:11

But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. Rom 8:10

• We do not die. We sleep.

Where, O death is your victory? Where, O death is your sting?"

1 Cor 15:55 

Who is equal/sufficient/adequate to such a task?

He who 

 Does not, corrupt/peddle/adulterate/make trade of the word of God.

Has sincerity of speech before God.

• Knowing and living with the understanding that we are ever before God
•  Speech – from the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks, thus sincerity of speech translate to sincerity of heart.

We are to God, The aroma of Christ.
