READ: Hebrews 3:12-19
For we have become PARTAKERS of Christ if we keep the beginning of our commitment firm until the end, :-Hebrews 3:14 (NASB)
There is no need to be a mere taster when you can become a partaker!
Take care, brethren, lest there should be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart, in falling away from the living God.
Perhaps, the most important thing is for you to become a partaker of Christ. You must not only taste of the Lord to see that He is good. You must partake of Christ. To partake of Christ is to become deeply embedded and rooted in Him. You must go deeper, and you must go all out in God.
Those who have partaken of salvation but have gone no deeper have made the greatest mistake of their lives. When I was a teenager in secondary school, many people claimed to be Christians. However, many did not take God seriously. They only tasted of the salvation, but they did not partake of Christ. They did not go deeper into Christ as they should have. You must press on to the mark of the high calling of God. You must go deeper in Christ.
You cannot taste a bit and stop there. There is much more in Christ. It is because I pressed deeper into Christ that I became a pastor and a teacher of the Word. The sign that you have pressed on to be a partaker of Christ is that you have become a preacher and a teacher of the Word of God. Indeed, there is a time that you must become a teacher of the Word.
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
Hebrews 5:12
