  2. Abundance of Goodness Psalm 145:5-9

  3. Abundance of Goodness • We are considering together our theme for this year • When you think of the Abundant Life that Jesus offers, what comes to your mind? • We’ve already looked at many blessings associated with it

  4. Abundance of Goodness • It’s safe to say that all of what we have studied so far has to do with the goodness of God • There are certainly ways in which we enjoy the goodness of God as a member of the body of Christ • Let’s consider the goodness of God (Rom. 11:22)

  5. Goodness From His Word • God’s word speaks of His goodness throughout its pages • We notice that the Psalms are full of praise to God, especially for His goodness • “The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord” (Ps. 33:5)

  6. Goodness From His Word • “Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good” (Ps. 34:8) • “You are good, and do good” (Ps. 119:68) • “For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be refused if it is received with thanksgiving” (I Tim. 4:4)

  7. Goodness From His Word • Obviously the Psalmist and others experienced the goodness of God • We also have experienced the goodness of God • It’s not just within our own lives, but from what we see and know to be true as well

  8. Goodness of God Seen… • 1. In Creation • We can certainly see the goodness of God in His creation of man • When God created all, including man, He saw that it was “very good” (Gen. 1:31) • David declared that he was “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Ps. 139:14)

  9. Goodness of God Seen… • 1. In Creation • God showed His goodness by placing Adam and Eve in the garden • He also showed it by providing for them within the garden (trees to eat of, etc.) • God’s goodness is also shown in His creation of other things as well

  10. Goodness of God Seen… • 1. In Creation • Jesus spoke of how well God takes care of the birds of the air and the lilies of the field (Matt. 6:26, 28-30) • David said that every living thing looks to God to provide their food and other desires (Ps. 145:15-16) • God is good!

  11. Goodness of God Seen… • 2. In Blessings • Not only is God’s goodness seen in His creation of man and all living things, it is also seen in his sustainment and blessing of them • God obviously pours out blessings on all His creations, regardless of their reaction to Him (Matt. 5:45)

  12. Goodness of God Seen… • 2. In Blessings • The blessings He gives to all are, of course, physical blessings • Every good and perfect gift in this life comes from God (Js. 1:17) • However, physical blessings can deceive us if we are not careful (Asaph - Ps. 73)

  13. Goodness of God Seen… • 2. In Blessings • The most important blessings that can show God’s goodness are the spiritual blessings • “For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly” (Ps. 84:11)

  14. Goodness of God Seen… • 2. In Blessings • Paul said the goodness of God leads us to repentance (Rom. 2:4) • It reminds us of the longsuffering of God spoken of in II Peter 3:9 • God’s grace is a blessing that shows His goodness (Eph. 1:7; Ti. 2:11-14; 3:7)

  15. Goodness of God Seen… • 2. In Blessings • God’s mercy, forgiveness, love and other qualities all flow from His goodness • God’s goodness is shown in His dealings with the Israelites in Isaiah 63:7-9 • It’s also seen in Judges 10:10-16

  16. Goodness of God Seen… • 3. In Eternity • Perhaps God’s goodness is best shown in what He offers for eternity • The gospel itself is a word that means “good news” • It is the gospel that teaches us how we are saved from sins (Rom. 1:16)

  17. Goodness of God Seen… • 3. In Eternity • The goodness of God came to us in the form of Jesus Christ to deliver us from our sins (Ti. 3:4-7) • It is that goodness that God shows us that leads us to Him (Rom. 2:4) • God’s goodness is seen in the free gift of eternal life (Rom. 6:23)
