Goodness
How should we “be good”?
Job 1:1
Job followed a plan for pursuing goodness that is simple in design yet so difficult in practice. When we avoid evil and honor God, we can’t help but “be good.”
1 Samuel 24:9-10
Returning good for evil is real victory.
1 Timothy 5:10
Kind deeds are marks of goodness, which bring the respect of others.
Psalm 119:40
The Word of God is a clear statement of what God wants us to do and knows is best for us. To live according to God’s Word is to live according to his will, and that is living a good life.
How then shall I show my appreciation to God for his goodness?
1 Chronicles 16:34; Psalm 7:17
Promise from God: Matthew 12:35
A good person produces good words from a good heart, and an evil person produces evil words from an evil heart.
