The Power Of Touch (The Conclusion)

SIGHT:  Focuses on both physical vision and spiritual understanding. Sight is closely related to faith, as the Bible often speaks of walking by faith rather than by sight.

HEARING: The ability to perceive sound, using our ears to detect vibrations in the air. We can receive guidance and wisdom through the Word of God in all areas of our lives. We are also warned to be careful about what we hear, as worldly influences can negatively impact our faith and behavior. Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.

SMELL: Used to describe the pleasing aromas of offerings to God, the fragrance of righteousness, and even the stench of sin or spiritual decay. Sweet-Smelling Savor: This refers to the pleasing aroma of a burnt offering or incense in the Old Testament. Now in the New Testament, it's used to describe the positive influence and impact believers have on others, both those who are saved and those who are not. 

TASTE: Spiritually, using our sense of taste, we enjoy the many characteristics of God. By experiencing God through His Word and through our lives, we are able to see the love, mercy and grace of God, His goodness and His sweetness. Figuratively, it means experiencing and appreciating God's goodness and the spiritual truths revealed in His Word. 

TOUCH: Touch is a powerful force that significantly impacts both physical and mental well-being, fostering stronger connections and promoting emotional regulation. A touch from God signifies a profound and transformative experience, often involving spiritual awakening, healing, or a sense of God's presence and power.
