God’s Word is given to us to enjoy. We find it to be a chore to read or restricting in its content. But God intended for His Word to refresh and encourage us. 1 Peter 2:1-3 “So get rid of all evil behavior. Be done with all deceit, hypocrisy, jealousy, and all unkind speech. Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment, now that you have had a taste of the Lord’s kindness.” Have you had a taste of the Lord’s kindness? I am certain you have. The Lord’s desire is for us to grow into a full experience of our salvation. His desire is to feed us like newborns, hungry for His truths. But we must rid ourselves of evil behaviors. There is a warning to all of this though. Hebrews 6:4-6 “For it is impossible to bring back to repentance those who were once enlightened—those who have experienced the good things of heaven and shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the power of the age to come— and who then turn away from God. It is impossible to bring such people back to repentance; by rejecting the Son of God, they themselves are nailing him to the cross once again and holding him up to public shame.” We can make a conscious decision to turn away from God and in doing so reject Jesus and His sacrifice. If you have tasted the goodness of the word of God and yet are not surrendering to Him, do so today!
