What does it mean to be a savor of life unto life?

Answered in 1 source

Being a savor of life unto life means that the message of Christ brings spiritual life and nourishment to believers.

In 2 Corinthians 2:15-16, Paul contrasts the savor of life unto life with the savor of death unto death. For believers, the preaching of Christ is a fragrant reminder of spiritual life and vitality. This savor is indicative of the transformative power of Christ's gospel — to those who receive it with faith, it signifies growth, hope, and eternal life. It is through this celebration of life in Christ that believers not only experience personal assurance but also grow into a community that reflects and spreads the sweet aroma of Christ's grace. Consequently, the enduring effect of this savor in the believer's life stands as a testament to God's salvific work within them.
