Alignment: Spiritual Sense of Smell

LIFE IN THE SPIRIT SERIES

2 Corinthians 2:14-17 English Standard Version (ESV)

14 But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. 15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, 16 to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things? 17 For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God's word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we speak in Christ.

INTRODUCTION

“The spiritual sense of smell comes alive as our inner attraction for prayer and the Silence, to be still and wait to be drawn into oneness with loving attention.”– Unknown


A FRAGRANCE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

To spread the aroma of the knowledge of Him everywhere – v.14b


Through a YIELDED Life! (Submitted; Surrendered; Obedient; Give way)


“Through our yielded lives he spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere we go.”


Why do we need to SPREAD the knowledge of God?


For GRACE and PEACE – 2 Peter 2:2-3

For His LIGHT to SHINE in our hearts – 2 Corinthians 4:5-7


For we are to God pleasing aroma of Christ – v.15

Ephesians 5:1-2


“Those who are being SAVED” – an aroma that brings LIFE! – v.15

Colossians 1:9-14


“Those who are PERISHING” – an aroma that brings DEATH! – v.16

Jude 1:20-23


CONCLUSION

Ephesians 5:1-2 (TPT)

Be imitators of God in everything you do, for then you will represent your Father as his beloved sons and daughters. 2 And continue to walk surrendered to the extravagant love of Christ, for he surrendered his life as a sacrifice for us. His great love for us was pleasing to God, like an aroma of adoration—a sweet healing fragrance.
