Our lives are a fragrance presented by Christ to God.
But this fragrance is perceived differently by those being saved & by those perishing.
To those who are perishing we are a fearful smell of death & doom.
But to those who are being saved we are a life-giving perfume.
2 Corinthians 2:15-16
Paul is speaking figuratively here.
But that does explain why some people react the way they do to followers of Jesus.
When I first really read & absorbed these 2 verses when I started reading the Bible every day without fail (RTBEDWF), I thought, that really explains a lot...
