Today we start looking at God's moral attributes. These are the attributes that deal with right and wrong. The first of these that we come to is God's goodness. As we look at God's goodness, let's look at these three things:
- God is good
- Everything God does is good
- God wants us to do good.
God is good
"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone.
Luke 18:19
Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; His love endures forever.
Psalm 106:1
- What does it mean to be good?
- Who sets the standard for good?
- How do we know that God is good?
Everything God does is good
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
Genesis 1:31
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
- After God had finished creation, what did He say?
- If God causes everything to work for our good, is anything that He does bad?
- What does it mean that everything is for our good?
God wants us to do good
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10
- What were we created to do?
- If these good works are prepared in advance, do you suppose that we are capable of doing these good works?
- How can we do these good works? through Christ
- Do you want to do good?
