Victory through Christ

  2 Cor 2:14-17  

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in VICTORY

through Christ.  

God uses us to spread His knowledge everywhere 

like a sweet-smelling perfume.

Our offering to God is this:

We are the sweet smell of Christ among those who are being saved

and among those who are being lost.

To those who are lost, we are the smell of death that brings death.

But to those who are being saved, we are the smell of life that brings life!

So who is able to do this work???

We do not sell the Word of God for a profit, as many other people do.

But IN CHRIST we speak the TRUTH before God as messengers of God.

=================================================

We, believer, are a savoring fragrance to the Lord!  The Messiah leads us

in a triumphal procession, and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance 

of what it means to know Him!

For to God, we are the aroma of the Messiah, both among the saved and among

those who are lost. Death leads to more death, but to the former, we are the 

sweet smell of life, leading to more life!!!

We spread this message of LOVE to the world out of a sincere heart-

as people sent by God, standing in God’s presence, living in UNION

with the Messiah.

Jesus is our Savior- and we spread this good news.  Life, light bears fruit

to more LIFE & LIGHT.  Jesus Christ, our Savior, is the Light of the World.

The smart ones, who hear His call, are a sweet smell to our Father.  We heed

the call.  Remember, many are called, few are chosen!

Be the one who Christ says:  "I have chosen you!”  

We have a place prepared for us, by our Lord.  

A place of fragrance, a sweet perfume, set apart for our King.  

Let us heed to this truth, and find the lost, and allow the fragrance

to please our Maker, our Heavenly Father, leading us to Victory,

through His precious Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Messiah!

Jesus, thank you for this Truth. YOU are Truth, our Truth.  Thank you that we are

likened to a sweet smelling fragrance to the Father’s nostrils.  We are the smell that

brings Life, eternal life, thank you!

Bless our faith today, Lord.  Help us as we help others.  Shine on us Jesus.  

In Jesus name we pray,

Amen Jesus, our Savior and Victor.

Amen!!!
