God says to sacrifice burnt offerings as “an aroma pleasing to the LORD” dozens of times in the Old Testament (Numbers 29:8 for example).
We no longer have to sacrifice animals under the New
Covenant, but Romans 12:1 tells us to “offer [our] bodies as a living
sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God.”
So if sacrifices give off a pleasing aroma, and we are supposed
to be a living sacrifice, that means we should smell good, right?
Wear deodorant. Take a shower.
For God’s sake.
2 Corinthians 2:15
ReplyDeleteFor we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are
being saved and those who are perishing.
My aroma is pleasing to God without a shower! Do you not agree?
Okay so maybe my logic's not as flawless as I thought . . . :)
