Goodness or goodness

Goodness is one of the nine precious facet of the fruit of the Holy Spirit

Gal 5:22-23
22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

The root word for Goodness is GOOD!
What is Good?
Good is a state of being Good!
A state of being approved of!

What is the Qualities of Goodness? To understand that we may also ask who do you consider a Good friend.
Kind
Understanding
Caring
Carries my burden
Just
Not manipulative
Loves
No ulterior motives
Generous
Helps me to clean up when everybody leaves after a "makan" gathering
and the list continues...

It is not the "Oh, goodness!" that we normally hear whenever someone is not happy or angry or when something has gone wrong!


Eph 2:10
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

3 John 11
Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God.

Application:
What is one Good act you would like to do today or this week?
