God is Good
Psalm 73:1
Truly God [is] good to Israel, [even] to such as are of a clean heart.
The very nature of our Heavenly Father is goodness.
3John 1:11
Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God.
Many who read through the old testament and see the battles and whipping out of nations, the reward of disobedience and ignorance, erroneously conclude that God may not be so good. They err because no one knows the true meaning of goodness but God Himself.
Let us see the Father at creation:
Genesis 1:12
And the earth brought forth grass, [and] herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed [was] in itself, after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.
The definition of goodness is God himself:
Mark 10:18
“Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked. “Only God is truly good.
For God is love:
1 John 4:7-8
Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.
But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
Never allow the thought to cross your mind that God is not good. For you think you are going through a challenge or crisis now, wait till you hear of what someone else is going through. It is only for a season and that issue cannot change God's nature of goodness.
Yet a good father also has wrath for those who disobey or rebel.
Hebrews 12:29
For our God [is] a consuming fire.
The question is are you going to walk in obedience to Him or prefer to rebel.
God's greatest love was shown in His sacrifice to bring man back to Himself. To give us life.
John 3:16
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
Our prayer is:
2Thessalonians 1:11
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of [this] calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of [his] goodness, and the work of faith with power:
Never doubt God's love. Never doubt God's goodness.
Let us confess like David:
Psalm 23:6
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
Glory to God.
He calls us blessed.
Love
