How do we know God is good according to the Bible?
Answered in 1 source
We know God is good because His goodness is experienced through His everlasting mercy and unwavering truth.
In Psalm 100:5, we read that 'the Lord is good, His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endureth to all generations.' This encapsulation of God's nature provides profound assurance to believers. His goodness is evident in the consistent mercy we experience daily and in the reliability of His truth, which is unchanging across generations. When we consider the fullness of the Gospel and the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who redeemed us from our sins, we see the ultimate demonstration of God's goodness. Thus, our knowledge of God's goodness is rooted in our experiences of His love, mercy, and faithfulness, reminding us to respond with gratitude and praise.
