How Do Others "See" Us?

How do others view us? Do we have any control over that? I don't think so.

2 Corinthians 2:15-16

15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, 16 to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

From these verses in 2 Corinthians it would appear that how people view us is more dependant on what their relationship to
God! There are those "who are being saved". To them we will have a pleasing "aroma" - the "aroma of Christ".

But to others - to those who are perishing, we smell bad.

Is there anything we can do about this - except love people, pray and witness to them of Christ?

If we are doing that - we will be doing very well.


Have a great day,


Peter Clark.
