THE GOODNESS OF GOD

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: THE GOODNESS OF GOD 

SATURDAY JULY 30th

TEXT: PSALMS 136:1-6 
 
Key Verse: Genesis 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. 
Goodness is one of the attributes of God that has been clearly made manifest in Scriptures. Right from the time of creation, God demonstrated His goodness to man; Adam and Eve, the only creatures whom the Lord made in His own image deliberately disobeyed Him. The immediate consequences of the fall of man were the consciousness of his physical nakedness and the shame thereof, fear of God’s judgment and hiding of self from God. 
God saw that man has brought shame upon himself. He demonstrated His goodness by covering man’s nakedness. However, the goodness and judgment of God go hand in hand. Romans 11:22. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. Never take God’s goodness for granted and remain a sinner. He will cut you off from eternal life.
In our text, however, it is obvious that the goodness of God finds expression in His mercy. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness (Lamentation 3:22-23). God renews His mercy plan for unbelievers and backsliders daily and waits patiently for any who will wisely take advantage of this provision to enjoy forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9). 
He foreordained man for salvation and holy living from the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:3-6). God’s protection and preservation of man and much more are all proofs of His goodness. In view of this, you should be able to delete whatever picture of God the devil might have painted in your mind. He painted God as unfair to Adam and Eve (Genesis 3:1-5) but presented himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). God is forever good to you and to all.

Thought for the day: Repent now while the goodness and mercy of God last. 

Song for the day: Oh Lord you have been so good, you are so good to me

Bible reading for the day: 
Psalms 59-61; Acts 28:16-31

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
