"福音は信仰の香りです。"
— Charles Spurgeon
Simplified Meaning:
The quote suggests that the message and teachings of the gospel (the good news of Jesus in Christianity) have a beautiful impact on people. Think of it like when you smell a flower; the lovely smell makes you feel happy and uplifted. Similarly, the gospel brings positive feelings and inspiration to those who believe in it. Imagine you are having a tough day and feeling down. A friend comes to you with kind words and a comforting presence. This friend's support and kindness lift your spirits. The gospel acts in the same way for believers, offering hope, guidance, and comfort through its teachings. In a simple way, just as perfume spreads a nice scent, the gospel spreads a good and uplifting feeling among those who embrace it. This can lead to a more positive outlook and a stronger sense of community and support in one's life. Embracing the gospel can help someone find strength in difficult times and joy in everyday life.
