Psalm 34:8—“O taste and see that the Lord is good …”

The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him (Ps. 34:7-9).

COMMON GRACE ARGUMENT:

The psalmist’s exhortation, “O taste and see that the Lord is good,” is interpreted by some to be a “general offer of salvation” and an expression of a gracious disposition of God towards all men.

Rev. Angus Stewart

This is a command. All who come to Christ enjoy His goodness. The next bit says, “blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” The next verse talks about His “saints” (v. 9).
