The Word of God

 

Word of God, Today On 3rd August 2024

  (2 Co 2:14–17).But, thanks be to God who always gives us in Christ a part in his triumphal procession, and through us is spreading everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of himself. To God we are the fragrance of Christ, both among those who are being saved and among those who are on the way to destruction; for these last, the of death leading to death, but for the first, the smell of life leading to life. Who is equal to such a task? At least we do not adulterate the word of God, as so many do, but it is in all purity, as envoys of God and in God’s presence, that we speak in Christ. 

  This Word of God enables us to include Jesus in our daily lives. He grants us the triumphant ownership of his grace in order to disseminate the fragrance of self-knowledge. For God, we are the fragrance of Christ, spreading the Gospel to all people regardless of caste, creed, wealth, or poverty. Jesus is for everyone, and he shines among all of us. He has given us the light to see our way out of the darkness that is leading to death. When we are unwilling to receive the knowledge of Christ and his grace, we are on the verge of disaster. Whatever duty our Lord has assigned to us must be used for the glory of God. 

  St. Paul emphasizes here that we should not argue against God's word. Many preachers and spiritual leaders pervert the Word of God or give misleading reflections, leading the faithful astray and making them impure. Those who work for the Lord and his kingdom should not distort the Word of God. So we should serve as God's envoys, be in His presence, and continually declare the truth in Christ.
