Goodness of God

The sermon centers on the profound truth that God alone is inherently good, and all goodness flows from His unchanging nature, as affirmed in Psalm 119:68. It argues that while humans may perform good deeds, no one is truly good by nature due to sin, making God the only source of true goodness, which is essential to His very being. The message emphasizes that God's actions—such as delivering His people from exile and sustaining creation—are consistently good, even in a fallen world, because evil arises not from God's creation but from the privation of good through rebellion. The sermon concludes by highlighting that God's Word is the primary means by which believers are reminded of His goodness, especially when life is confusing or painful, calling the audience to cultivate a life of Bible reading, prayer, and church community to continually be taught and reminded of God's enduring goodness.
