Who does God show His goodness to?

Answered in 1 source

God shows His goodness primarily to those who are humble and seek Him (Psalm 34:2, Psalm 86:5).

The goodness of God is especially directed toward those who are humble and recognize their spiritual need. Psalm 34:2 states that the humble, those who acknowledge their shortcomings, will hear of God's goodness and be glad. The Lord is portrayed as 'good and ready to forgive' (Psalm 86:5), illustrating that His mercy is extended to sinners who genuinely seek His grace. This aspect of God's goodness underscores a profound truth in sovereign grace theology: it is not the self-righteous who receive His favor but those who are broken and aware of their need for redemption.
