God's goodness is expressed in creation and experienced in salvation. The psalmist proclaims the goodness of God as great and as eternal. God is the true essence of goodness, the Author of unlimited, undeserved generosity.
Though God alone is truly good. Scripture encourages believers to seek goodness by modeling their lives after Christ Jesus. For the Christian, goodness is not simply the absence of evil; it is righteousness accompanied by acts of kindness. As a fruit of the Holy Spirit, goodness is a natural result of love, joy, peace, long-suffering, and kindness at work in a persons life, it is the outward expression of inward change in a believer's heart-the invisible power of a Holy God overcoming the sinful nature that is in all people.
True goodness is difficult to attain. It manifests itself only in a life totally committed to the Lord and is a requirement for effective ministry. Service to others is counted as evidence of the goodness of God at work in the life of a believer...
