The Bible reveals that God's goodness is abundant and unmerited, illustrating His favor towards those who fear Him (Psalm 31:19).
Scripture repeatedly emphasizes the greatness of God's goodness. For instance, Psalm 31:19 states, 'How great is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you.' This goodness is not just a general benevolence but a specific, abundant love that provides for and protects His people. The psalmist highlights how God's goodness is evident in creation, in His mercy, and in His providence, bringing both joy and celebration among His followers (Psalm 145:7). Therefore, understanding God's goodness is crucial for Christians as it lays the foundation for our gratitude and worship.
