Fragrant Living
I am full, having received . . . the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma . . . well pleasing to God. —
Philippians 4:18
I’m grateful that God has given us the sense of smell so we can enjoy the many fragrances of
life. I think of how much I enjoy something as simple as the fresh and inviting aroma of
after-shave lotion in the morning. Or the mellow smell of fresh-cut grass in the spring. I
especially enjoy sitting in the backyard when the delicate scent of my favorite roses fills the
air. And then there are the savory aromas of delicious food.
So it catches my attention when the apostle Paul says that our generous acts of love toward
others are like a “sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God” (Phil.
4:18). When we think of helping those in need, we usually think of it as the right thing to do—
or even the Christlike thing to do. But Paul says that our intentional act of reaching out to
meet someone’s need actually fills the throne room of God with a fragrance that brings
pleasure to Him.
We can please God with the aromas that rise from being a blessing to others! What an added
incentive this is for us to perform deeds of kindness in His name.
Who might need your act of kindness today? Ask God to lead you to someone. Be a blessing.
It’s a fragrant thing to do!
INSIGHT: Paul says, “I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content . . . . I can do all things
through Christ who strengthens me” (4:11,13). Paul’s contentment came from the sufficiency of
knowing Christ, not from the gifts he received from the Philippian believers (vv. 14-17). However, these
sacrificial gifts were a “sweet-smelling aroma” to God (v. 18; see Lev. 7:12-15)

CHURCH OFFICE HOURS
Monday-Friday 8:30am to

DID YOU KNOW THAT
1. The Bible speaks of just one church: Read
Matt. 16:18; Eph. 1:22-23; 4:4; Col. 1:18; I Cor.
12: 12-27.
2. Denominational division is contrary to the
teaching of the Bible? Read: I Cor. 1:10; Phil. 3:16
3. In order to become a Christian, one must:
a) Hear the gospel - Rom. 10:17; Acts 15:7
b) Believe in Christ - John 8:24; Heb. 11:6
c) Repent of sins - Luke 13:3; Acts 17:30
d) Confess faith in Christ - Matt. 10:32;
Romans 10:9-10
e) Be baptized for remission of sins - Acts 2:38
4. When one obeys Christ in being baptized:
a) He gets into Christ - Gal. 3:27; I Cor. 12:13
b) He is saved from his past sins - I Pet. 3:2021; Mark 16:15-16
Why not obey the gospel of Christ!
