It's is difficult to imagine anyone tasting of God's goodness, turning their back on Him. I know it does happen but, it just doesn't compute! Any of us could fall into it, I'm sure - if we are not walking by the Spirit...
Every Sunday, (pre-Virus), Millions of people go to Church, worldwide, who are not born again.
They hear the music, they enjoy the Sermon, they feel the presence of God, and when the Minister invites them to the Cross, and with the Holy Spirit convicting them, they won't go. They REFUSE the Goodness of God, = Reject Salvation, Sunday after Sunday for YEARS and YEARS.
So, "tasting the Goodness of God", happens all the time, and millions that taste it regularly, refuse to have it.
I'll give you another thought....
I write Threads.
My Threads are really so very simple......the basics of the Basics.
1.) God saved you.
2.) God sees you now as a "new Creation" and not as the old sinner.
3.) You can have deliverance from Sin, and should.
4.) Here's how.
This is the "goodness of God"......that im teaching.
What can be more "good" then to be given a way out of sinning and repenting, so that our Lives truly become "present your bodies a living Sacrifice".
Yet, I have 20 people here, that can't stand it, bite it, hate it, refuse it, won't hear it, and won't have it.
All responding with ....>"no, see, im a sinner, i need to repent, here are my verses that i misuse and twist to keep staying a repenting confessing deceived believer".
So, the Goodness of God, is always being rejected by both the unsaved and the born again, and not just in Church.
