We are God's air freshener

2 Corinthians 2

1. Paul desires to come and have a joyful visit and not one of confrontation (1-4)

2. Time to forgive the disciplined man of 1 Corinthians 5 (5-11)

3. God's air fresheners (12-17)

    We are God's air freshener. But you know how one person might walk in and smell a scent and say, "Wow that is wonderful", but another person can smell the same thing and say, "That stinks". It is the same way with our air freshening for God. The saved say, "That is sweet, it smells like life, real life" and the lost say, "get that stinking thing away from me, it smells like death", even though our words and manner of life are putting off the same aroma. Keep freshening the air. Some people like it and get saved.

    Given our responsibility to be God's air freshener, Paul ask a great question in verse 16. Who is sufficient for these things. It is a grave responsibility. The answer is in Chapter 3 verses 4-6.

2 Corinthians 3

1. Rather than letters of commendation he had relationship with the Corinthians and the power of the Spirit of God (1-6)

2.Their relationship was better and more direct than that of Moses and the Children of Israel, because the veil had been removed through Jesus. (7-18)
