What is the likelihood of being told "God sees you" in comparison to "God smells you"? However, the smell of a Christian's life is just as potent as behavior and appearance, which is relative to a soothing aroma. Soothing Aroma is a term used in the New American Standard Bible in correlation to the phrase sweet savior in the King James version. It examines scriptural text about offerings that smelled-pleasing to the Lord. It is a theological thought with a prophetic sound into the disposition of the sacrificial system concerning burnt offerings. The general intent of a soothing aroma was to appease God. The type of sacrifice God deems valuable and costly is us--His people--as living sacrifices. A live sacrifice rather than a dead one infuses the fragrance of Christ. That is the soothing aroma that is pleasing to God. Jesus is a true example to His followers of what classifies and extols authentic worship to God: a valuable and costly sacrifice. Christians give off the aroma of Christ as they surrender their lives to Christ as living sacrifices.
