God's goodness is evident in His actions throughout Scripture, including His grace in salvation and His control over creation.
The goodness of God is fundamental to the Christian understanding of His character. In Job's story, despite the immense suffering he faces, God's overarching goodness is emphasized as He remains in control. This is further exemplified in Romans 5:8, which states that God demonstrates His love for us in sending Christ to die for sinners. The fact that He takes the initiative to save and reveals Himself to wretched beings demonstrates His goodness, as He acts to deliver us from our sin through His Son. Therefore, we can confidently affirm that the goodness of God is a consistent theme in redemptive history.
