What Is That Awful Smell?
By Mark Flippo
Ephesians 5:2
And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling savour.
Most every fisherman knows about stink bait. It is specially made for catfish. It stinks like rotten garbage. Now how is this applied spiritually? We can read in the above verse that our offerings come before Him smelling fragrance. We also know when it talks about Sodom and Gomorrah they stunk in God's nose.
Genesis 18:20 (MSG)
God continued, "The cries of the victims in Sodom and Gomorrah are deafening; the sin of those cities is immense.
Ezekiel Chapter 16:
49-Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread (gluttonous), and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
50-
50-And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw [good].
They had a special kind of stink. If you do wrong you stink. If you do right you are a sweet fragrance to the Lord! Which are you to Him?
