A follow up note on "sweet savor"

In my last post, I attempted to describe/define what it might mean to "smell" the word of God. The essence of the symbol is this:

Hearing the word of God and seeing the heavenly light creates a strong desire to worship God and offer Him praise for His mercy and love. 

I stand by that definition.  In searching the scriptures to learn more, I came across a few gems in the Bible:

1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;

2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. (Ephesians 5)

15 ·Our offering to God is this: [or For God’s sake; or To God] We are the ·sweet smell [aroma; fragrance] of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are ·being lost [perishing; headed for destruction].  (2 Corinthians 2, EXB)

41 I will accept you as fragrant incense when I bring you out from the nations and gather you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will be proved holy through you in the sight of the nations. (Ezekiel 20, NIV)

It pleases the Lord when His children earnestly and humbly seek to make an offering to Him that is acceptable.  This must be done in the context of purity and humilty:

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. (Psalm 24)
