The Goodness of God

How wonderful it is to look around and see God’s goodness in so many areas. But what could ever be better than the goodness of God’s grace? Grace, as used in the Bible, is favor which cannot be merited. The grace of God provides salvation for man. (Titus 2:11). To be more emphatic, without God's grace there could be no salvation (Ephesians 2:1-10). There has never been grace such as the grace associated with man's salvation. Grace is "from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Corinthians 1:3). God is said to be "the God of all grace..." (1 Peter 5:10). Jesus is especially associated with grace (2 Corinthians 13:14). It was He who died for sinful, undeserving man (Romans 5:6-10).

Thank about what the Bible says about Noah-“But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Genesis 6: 8). Why did Noah find grace? It is because he did exactly what we are told to do “Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity” (Ephesians 6:24). How did he and are we to show our love? The Bible says it is thru obedience (Genesis 6:5-8; John 14:15, 21-24; 1 Corinthians 9:26-27).

We come to learn from the Bible that the Jew could not be saved by keeping the Law of Moses (Galatians 2:16). In order to be justified by the law, the Jew had to flawlessly observe it, which he could not do (Romans 3:23). So comes the need of grace (John 1:17; Romans 5: 11). While Christ demands obedience, if it is not done in a heart of knowing that if it were not for the grace of God that sent his Son to this earththan that obedience will do no good.Brethren God's grace has been abused by those who contend that since we are under grace, we may sin. To such doctrine Paul responded "God forbid" (Romans 6: 1-2). Love God for His goodness and allow Him to reward you for it. Ernie
