GOD IS GOOD

"For the Lord is good; his mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting; and his faithfulness and truth endure in all generations." (Psalm 100:5 Amplified)
"O Give thanks to the Lord, for His is good; for his mercy and loving-kindness endure forever." (Psalm 107:1 Amplified)

God's Goodness is one of His 'attributes', and because He is God His goodness is self-caused, infinite, perfect and eternal. As an attribute of an unchangeable God, He never varies in His intensity of His goodness. His goodness is what causes Him to be kind, cordial, and full of good toward all man.

God's Goodness is different than human goodness, because God is perfect. A.W. Tozer states that "the Goodness of God is the drive behind all the blessings He daily bestows upon us. God created us because He felt Good in His heart, and He redeemed us for the same reason."

Charles Wesley had this to say of the Goodness of God:

Before my faith's enlightened eyes

Make all Thy gracious goodness pass;

Thy goodness is the sight I prize:

O might I see thy smiling face;

Thy nature in my soul proclaim

Reveal thy love, Thy glorious name.

"O Taste and see that the Lord is Good!" (Psalm 34:8)
