God’s Infinite Goodness

“…there is none good but one, that is, God.” – Mark 10:18

“His mercy endures forever.” – (many scripture verses)

We learn from our Lord Jesus that God is good. “There is none good but one: that is God.” How inexpressibly good He is! There is no goodness but what comes from God. His name, “God” is but short for “good,” and all the good things that we receive in this life, and for the life to come, are but enlargements of His blessed name. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights.” Blessings enjoyed by us are streams that flow from the fountain head of God’s infinite goodness to the sons of men. A man cannot help loving God when once he knows Him to be good, for all men love that which they apprehend to be good to them. A man says, “Gold is good; rest is good; fame is good;” and therefore he seeks after these things, and when he comes to know that God is good, oh, then his spirit follows hard after Him. He cannot help but love that which he is persuaded is in the highest sense good. The soul that knows the name of the Lord rejoices at the very mention of Him.

Note how the prophet saith,”Who is a God like unto Thee, passing by transgression?” He does not say, “Who is a man like unto Thee?” for none among our race can for a moment be compared with Him; but even if the gods of the heathen were gods, none of them could be likened unto the Lord for mercy…”His mercy endureth for ever.” Free grace and pardoning love sensibly known in the soul will win your hearts unto God for ever, so that you shall be His willing servants as long as you have any being. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
