The Bible reveals that Jesus' good will encompasses His eternal love and commitment to His people, as demonstrated by His incarnation and redemptive work.
The Bible emphasizes Jesus' good will through His person and work, particularly as seen in Deuteronomy 33:16, referring to 'the good will of him that dwelt in the bush.' This representation highlights how Jesus is the fulfillment of God's promises and how His good will has been a constant factor in the salvation of His people. His infinite mind, from everlasting, has loved His people and engaged in suretyship on their behalf.
Moreover, this good will was visibly manifested when He assumed our nature in the fullness of time. Though He chose to dwell in a corrupted and frail human form, represented by the burning bush, His presence ensures that despite the trials and temptations believers face, they are not consumed. This understanding urges believers to recognize the depths of Christ's love and the continual grace He offers, prompting a response of love and praise toward Him.
