Tasty

1 Peter 2:3 If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

I love sourdough bread. To me it tastes better than any other bread. It is made with a special kind of yeast. Not all bread yeasts are alike. There are specialty yeasts for particular breads. I detest rye, others love it. I care not for pumpernickel while other adore it. I like warm brown bread and I find myself in the minority on that taste.

So it is with sin. Some go so far as to say what they do is not a sin and refuse to acknowledge the hidden dangers of infection. Some trivialize certain sins; “It is not a sin unto death.” Even within believers who have been saved from sin, the memory of how good it “tasted” lingers. Such is the appeal and power of sin to cause those who have been set free to long for the “garlick of Egypt”. (Numbers 11:5)

Hebrews 6:4-5 for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come

Nothing tastes better.
