The Aroma Of Your Life

Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ
and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.

For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved
and those who are perishing.

To the one we are the smell of death;
to the other, the fragrance of life.
And who is equal to such a task?

Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit.
On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity,
like men sent from God.

Are we beginning to commend ourselves again?
Or do we need, like some people,
letters of recommendation to you or from you?

You yourselves are our letter,
written on our hearts,
known and read by everybody.

You show that you are a letter from Christ,
the result of our ministry,
written not with ink
but with the Spirit of the living God,
not on tablets of stone
but on tablets of human hearts.

(2 Corinthians 2:14-17; 3:1-3;
All scripture taken from New International Version.)

Does the letter of YOUR life exemplify Christ?
