Bible Note: Hi Tim, Thanks for the encouragement. This idea of His Goodness applies to our discussion on a different thread about there only being one God. Only One is good. Matthew 19:17, "And **He said to him, "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments." 18 He said to Him,/ "Which ones?" And Jesus said, "You shall not..." Mark 10:17, "And as He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and began asking **Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" 18 And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me/ good? No one is good except God alone. You know the commandments, "Do not..." Yes, our God is a great Teacher, and He declares all things to us. Isaiah 45:19, NKJ, "I have not spoken in secret, In a dark place of the earth; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, 'Seek Me in vain'; I, the Lord speak righteousness, (I)declare things that are right." Oh, to know the (Truth) better and better, more and more. From the heart, Ray |
