You're His Aroma

GM. This is Soul Food we read the Bible so you get the highlights – like a mate who watched the film and gives you the best bits.

🚀🚀🚀 Here's what we're exploring today:

In the Old Testament, when a sacrifice was burned, the Bible records it produced a pleasing aroma to God. It smelled good to Him. That is a big deal.

Fast forward to the New Testament. Romans 12:1 tells us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. We are no longer burning animals on an altar. We are the living sacrifice.

2 Corinthians 2:15 takes it even further: we are the aroma of Christ to God.

So here is what this means for you today. You, as a believer, smell good to God. Not because of what you have done but because of what Jesus did. You lay down your life, take up your cross, and in doing so you become a walking, talking, breathing representation of Him.

You are not just acceptable to God. You are pleasing to God.

The question is not whether God is pleased with you. He is. The question is whether you are living like someone who knows it.

Walk like you smell good. Because you do.

🔑🔑🔑 Key takeaways:

• You are the aroma of Christ. God is already pleased with you, not because of what you have done but because of what Jesus did.

• Lay down your life, take up your cross, and live like someone who knows they smell good to God.
