What does the Bible say about God's goodness?

Answered in 44 sources

The Bible describes God's goodness as immeasurable and eternal, particularly in Psalm 31:19, which states, 'Oh, how great is thy goodness.'

God's goodness is a central theme in scripture, emphasizing His kindness, grace, and favor toward humanity. Psalm 31:19 declares God's goodness to be 'great' and 'laid up' for those who fear Him, highlighting that His kindness is not just fleeting but is stored up as a gift for believers. This goodness is unfathomable, especially considering our sinfulness in contrast to His holiness. The expression of His goodness towards us is a source of amazement and comfort, as we understand that, despite our unworthiness, He continues to bless us with His grace.
