Who is good?
What’s good ?
Well, Jesus put it clearly to be understood.
He said, “No one is good—except God alone.”
Except God alone, friends I believe many out there or you yourself may have encountered goodness measure that would probably qualify you to be good or not based on man’s yardstick. You may have qualified to be good by that yardstick and I thank God for that, some have not, there’s something not genuine about them and their goodness as per what or who a good person as man’s opinion puts it.
We are all zealous for this fruit, goodness but it ought not be crafted by us or determined by us. Our zeal ought to be towards God, His nature in us produces only what is of Him, good….nothing to do with what i can do to be good or not to do to be good. Except God alone, my doing good all my life will lead me to nothing. I mean anyone can do good as per what they deem to be good and is not of God.
God is Good, that is His nature, His nature in a man who has believed God and yearned for His nature in him. That nature is not of our own, it is of God, except Him, then we are just good men in our own eyes.
What is good( nature of God) leads us to submit to His nature in us, and be more like the nature of God in our mortal being. His nature also leads us to repentance, thanks be to God that this goodness that leads us to repentance is infinite, it has no count of days and nights but it is of God’s nature, an everlasting goodness of God dwelling in and with us all the days of His life in us.
Tell me who is Good, and what is good?
