How do we know God's goodness is true?

Answered in 28 sources

God's goodness is demonstrated through His actions and promises throughout Scripture, like His readiness to forgive (Psalm 86:5).

The truth of God's goodness can be affirmed through His sustained character and the multiple testimonies found within Scripture. For example, Psalm 86:5 asserts that 'You, Lord, are good and ready to forgive.' This offers a compelling truth about God’s nature, particularly in how He relates to humanity. The narrative of the Bible illustrates God's goodness by highlighting His mercy towards sinners and His continuous provision for those who are humbled and in need. Additionally, the fulfillment of His promises over history further corroborates the reliability of His goodness.
