As a Christian, remember what God has given you.You have been enlightened – had some revelation of Christ or whose mind has been opened to ChristYou have tasted the heavenly gift - meaning experiencing a vital relationship with Jesus ChristYou have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit – If you truly accepted Christ, the Spirit lives in you. You have experienced some gifts, influences, and some form of communication (maybe convicting or leading) from the Holy SpiritYou have tasted the good word of God – the Bible offers us encouragement when we are weak. It warns us of the dangers of sin including dependence on self and self-glory. And it tells us about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. It is a way to know our Father better and gain a better understanding of Him.The powers of the age to come – (while it may not be eschatological in this verse), Believer’s have hope of a future with Christ. A hope that can give us the power to look past the trials to the amazing life to come.No matter what the “lures” of this world are, remember what you have in Jesus and the identity you have in Him. We will never be satisfied with what the world offers, but we can be satisfied in Christ.
