“His fruit was sweet to my taste” (Song of Solomon 2:3)

Faith, in Scripture, is referred to as seen, heard, smelled, touched and felt.

It’s expressed in the sense of sight: “Look to Me, and be saved” (Isaiah 45:22).

It’s expressed in the sense of hearing: “Hear, and your soul shall live”  (Isaiah 55:3).

It’s expressed in the sense of smell: “We are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved” (2 Corinthians 2:15).

It’s expressed in the sense of touch:  “As many as touched Him were made well” (Mark 6:56).

It’s expressed in the sense of taste:  “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!” (Psalms 34:8).

When God supernaturally changes a sinner into a saint, his "taste" is radically changed. Only saints say to God, “How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!” (Psalms 119:103). Saints “desire the pure milk of the word … if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious” (1 Peter 2:2-3). “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you … he who feeds on Me will live because of Me” (John 6:53-57). This statement caused most of the crowd to leave Christ.

I hope you have tasted that the Lord is good, “that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God” (Colossians 1:10).
