The Aroma of Yielding

Welcome to Pray the Word! A podcast for prayer and exhortation through the Word of God.⁣ ⁣ Today’s portion comes from 2 Corinthians 2:14ff⁣ ⁣ God always makes His grace visible in Christ, who includes us as partners of His endless triumph. ⁣ ⁣ Through our yielded lives He spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of God everywhere we go. ⁣ ⁣ We have become the unmistakable aroma of the victory of the Anointed One to God, a perfume of life to those being saved and the odor of death to those who are perishing. ⁣ ⁣ The unbelievers smell a deadly stench that leads to death, but believers smell the life giving aroma that leads to abundant life. ⁣ ⁣ And who of us can rise to this challenge? For unlike so many, we are not peddlers of God’s word who water down the message. ⁣ ⁣ We are those sent from God with pure motives, who speak in the sight of God from our union with Christ. ⁣ ⁣ 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯
