“The Lord Is good” Psalm 100:5a. At the heart of the universe there is Good. Most gods of the ancients were not good, benevolent or kind. God revealed Himself through Israel to be a good God. He revealed Himself through Christ to be the good Father. The Father desires that we would be good and do good. His true children can be recognized by this. He wants that there be in us a Holy Spirit inspired goodness that will bring people to the Lord.
Barnabas “was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.” Acts 11:24 (NIV)
