Our readings in this series are from the book, Such a Great Salvation. Here is a brief excerpt from pages 76, 77:
“God intends that a fragrance of Christ should rise from us, wherever we are, whatever we’re doing. We bring an aura and presence of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control; a bent toward encouragement and edification; and an outlook of hope and confidence into every situation. Thus, we raise the banner of Christ throughout our sphere and world, and we establish beachheads from which the Good News of salvation can spread to other people.
“But, as we have been at pains to say throughout this book, this doesn’t just happen. And if it’s not happening, then we are in danger of neglecting our great salvation, drifting from the Lord, and finding ourselves in need of some serious and unpleasant corrective action on the Lord’s part.
“It is much better if we take up our calling to our appointed sphere with a view to growing in our great salvation and causing that great salvation to spread outward to everything and everyone.”
