2 Chronicles 33-34, 2 Corinthians 2: 12-17, Psalm 120
2 Corinthians 2: 15 (ESV)
“For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are
being saved and among those who are perishing,”
Verse 15 from 2 Corinthians 2 shows Paul talking about what
it means to spread the gospel of Christ. To those people who are being saved by
their belief in Jesus Christ or those who are perishing and want to repent for
their sins to God so they can be with Christ, people of faith are welcomed like
the smell of good food. Paul reminds us that we should not be ashamed to talk
about our faith in God because to those who are starving to hear the words of
God, we will be as welcomed as food. As people of faith, we should never be
ashamed to share our faith because we do not know if people are starving for
the word of God. We need to trust that if Holy Spirit is inspiring us to share
our faith with people we don’t know, it is because the person we are speaking to
someone who needs to hear the word of God. We cannot judge what someone needs
based on appearance or light conversation. Only God knows what is in each person’s
heart. A person might be starving for the word of God, but we will never know
until we share our faith in Jesus Christ.
