A fragrance of death or life?
The New Testament tells Christians that God uses us, to make clear what it means to know the Lord Jesus Christ. It is like a fragrance that fills the air. To most people we are a deadly fragrance – a stench, a bad smell unto death, while to others we are a life-giving fragrance – a sweet …
