Fragance of Christ

in beatitudes •  6 years ago 

Happy day friends readers of SteemChurch.

Did you know that our life has a spiritual smell? Being that way, what kind of smell are you exhaling? Smell of obedience to God or smell of corruption? Corruption is everything that corrupts us from the pattern that God established for our own protection.

Smell of sanctity or sin? The smell of pornography, alcoholism, drugs, prostitution, adultery, fornication, perverted sensuality, lying, prģide, arrogance... people are so many things ... those spiritual smells are linked to the fruit of the flesh and fruit of the Spirit. Are we exhaling the smell of sin or smell of a life of surrender to God and renounce?

The smell has a lot of relevance in the Bible, did you know? It is not the fool that smell is one of our 5 senses and God speaks of it making a comparison with our life. He speaks of the smell of sin, of the smell of hell, speaks of the smell of our prayers that reach him like incense and soft smell. The word soft smell appears in the Leviticus book 7 times. I think he cares about the smell?

In the spiritual world we have an odor. The smell of God's holiness in us and the smell of sin are felt. If we could feel our spiritual smell when we act and think, I think that many times we would change our thinking and behavior in the same way that when we smell the smell of a spoiled meal, we throw it out.

First of all, who can be suitable? Who can be incorruptible? This question God asks us in 2 CO 2: 16 to evaluate our life.

Christ gave himself for us in offer and sacrifice to God, in a soft smell. Today we are the ones who must give ourselves to Him in offer and live sacrifice exhaling the good perfume of Christ through our lives living a life of surrender as He lived here.

The Bible says that our heart is deceitful and desperately corrupt. It also says that he who keeps the commandments (obeys) is the one who really loves God. He also says that without sanctification nobody will see God.

Every day we will be put to the test to lose the soft smell, the smell of obedience and be carried away by the smell of a corrupt and deceptive life. A life of illusion and corruption of the original plan of God.

In those days of such a corrupt world, that we can desperately seek to have an obedient and incorruptible heart, because it is that kind of person that God seeks.
Do not let life take you. Struggle to be a better person every day, look for the character of the approved worker, the good and faithful servant, the friend of God, because only being a person of transformed character and with a teachable heart we will be complete and truly happy.

Do not sell, do not walk in the system, you do not need to do just because everyone does it. Have your identity well formed within you, not seen the "clothing" of the system.

Do not be in a robot that does everything you are programmed to do and even in the automatic, without the right to think or question.

When you assume your identity you are exposed. What identity are you assuming in your life? If it is not the identity of heaven in you, you need to be rescued for your true identity, which is that of heaven. Do
not be intimidated by the world's system. Do not miss out on you.

God will give you strength to resist

May we exhale to others the good perfume of Christ and fill the houses with the precious tuberose whose essence is Jesus.
