How do we know the Lord's goodness is true?

The goodness of the Lord is a central theme in the Bible, consistently affirmed by various Scripture passages. Psalm 100:5 explicitly states that 'the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting,' asserting God's unwavering nature of goodness. This goodness encompasses His grace and mercy, which we experience profoundly through the work of Jesus Christ. In recognizing our state and the grace we have been given for our undeserved salvation, we see God's goodness not just as a theological concept but as a lived reality for His people, providing them comfort and hope in all circumstances.
