Why is the concept of divine goodwill important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Divine goodwill assures believers of God's favor and sustaining grace throughout their lives.

The blessing upon Joseph not only promises material wealth but highlights God's enduring goodwill towards him, representing the assurance of divine favor. This goodwill reflects God's commitment in redemptive history—demonstrated through Christ's incarnation, suffering, and victory—emphasizing that believers live under the constant favor of God. Assurance of His goodwill should be a source of comfort and boldness for Christians, reminding them that their salvation and spiritual growth are anchored in God's loving kindness.
