 God is Good

Happy Saturday!

Goodness is a fruit of the Spirit, an internal quality that we develop through our relationship with God. It encompasses moral excellence, honesty, and righteousness. Kindness, on the other hand, is an outward expression of goodness, the practical ways in which we love others.

According to the ORBC Family there is a difference between goodness and kindness. 

They have a great website that really provides a beautiful explanation about goodness.

"Goodness in the Bible

In the Bible, goodness is often described as a characteristic of God,  that should be embodied by his followers. The concept of goodness is closely related to love, kindness, and righteousness, and is often portrayed as an essential element of a holy and virtuous life. 

In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is the ultimate example of goodness, and his teachings emphasize the importance of loving one’s neighbor, caring for the poor and needy, and treating others with compassion and respect."

Everyday Life

We know that life is not filled with good things. We get the good and the bad. Things break we go through things. People can be unkind to us. But in the midst of it all God is with us and he is good to us. So God is good. 

Have a great weekend!
