Fruit of the Spirit: Goodness

“The goodness of God is infinitely more wonderful than we will ever be able to comprehend. But the more we gaze upon it, the more it shapes our own hearts to reflect it.” A.W. Tozer

The goodness of God is closely connected to His righteousness. God is good, and because He is good, He always does what is right, and His instructions reflect the goodness of His character.

Though sin marred God’s perfect creation, His goodness remains evident through His Word and is most fully revealed in Jesus Christ—who, in His goodness, extends grace, mercy, and love to sinners.

In Christ, we are called to reflect the goodness of God by living rightly and honoring Him. Through the Gospel, we are made righteous, and by Christ’s Spirit, we are empowered to walk in the good works He has prepared for us.

May the Lord and His unchanging goodness be our Shepherd and our shelter. As we rest in His righteousness, may our lives reflect His grace and draw others to the beauty of the One who is working goodness in us.

Scriptures for Meditation

Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.” Psalm 25:8-10 

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Psalm 34:8

But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  Romans 5:8

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”. Ephesians 2:10

Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the children of mankind!” Psalm 31:19
