What does the Bible say about the goodness of God to His people?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible affirms that God is good to Israel, especially in the context of covenant blessings, even amidst trials and sufferings.

In Psalm 73, Asaph concludes that 'God is good to Israel,' a statement that reflects both God's covenant faithfulness and His goodness toward His chosen people. Despite the trials and afflictions they face, Asaph recognizes that God's true goodness is reserved for His spiritual Israel, which encompasses those under His covenant. This goodness manifests itself ultimately in eternal life, contrasting with the temporary, worldly prosperity of the wicked. Asaph's conclusion is drawn from considering not just present circumstances but also the eternal state that awaits believers, thus affirming that true blessing lies beyond this life.
