Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Peter 2:3

"if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious:" — 1 Peter 2:3 (ASV)

If indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

If you have spiritually tasted this great truth, you have the flavor of it upon your palate, so that it makes you long for more of it.

If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

Have you tasted this? Oh! Search yourselves and see, and, if you have, then prove it by the laying aside of the evil, and the thirsting after the good.

If indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

You begin with tasting that the Lord is gracious, you go on to desire the unadulterated milk of the Word, and so you grow in grace more and more.
