The Goodnesss of God

The Old Testament assures us of the goodness of God. It contains statements like 'Good and upright is the LORD' - Psalm 25:8, and commands us to 'Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good' -1Chronicles 16:34. It urges us to 'Taste and see that the LORD is good' because 'blessed is the man who takes refuge in him' - Psalm 34:8.

But ever since Satan's first deceptive lies in Genesis 3, humans have doubted the goodness of God. Modern humans are no exception. Indeed, modern humans increasingly question the existence of God, of any 'god' at all. And, of those who still leave room for some 'god' to actually exist, many, many doubt his goodness. Even within the churches, the goodness of God, although it may be outwardly acknowledged is often inwardly doubted.

This series of studies seeks to present a comprehensive, biblical picture of the goodness of God. It does not look only at verses that refer specifically to God as 'good' or to God's 'goodness'.Rather it looks at a wide range of the Bible's teaching from both the Old and New Testaments that communicates in one way or another the absolute goodness of God.

When complete, this series will contain over twenty individual studies.

Note: I have set myself a limit of not more than four A4 pages per study in my MSWord file. Because of this, some study topics are spread over two studies. It also means that there is much, much more to say on some topics than what is inlcuded in the study. I hope that was is included will whet your appetite and motivate you to study further what the Bible has to say.
