Fruit of the Spirit in Christ 6: The Goodness of Christ


Listen Later

In the Bible, “good/goodness” is more than just describing someone or something as being helpful, nice, or pleasant. Rather, being “good” (i.e., having “goodness”) deals with having moral excellence, righteousness, and integrity.

“Goodness” is a quality that we are to seek to exhibit in our lives in abundance.

Romans 15:14
2 Thessalonians 1:11

Jesus was said to be heavily invested in doing “good”.

Acts 10:38

So then why did Jesus deny being “good”?

Mark 10:17-18

God is the only one who is truly good. All goodness points to God and reflects His character.

1 Chronicles 16:34
Psalms 34:8; 100:5; 107:1; 119:68; 145:7-9

Moses wanted to see God’s glory, and so God said He would have all His goodness pass in front of Him.

Exodus 33:19-20

What does it mean for us to be “good”?

Micah 6:6-8
