75 He is so good—that He cannot be better!

He is so good—that He cannot be better!

"The Lord is good!"Jeremiah 33:11

Creatures may be comparatively good.

God is absolutely good. "There is none good but one, that is God."

He is naturally good—for His nature is the fountain of all goodness.

He is infinitely good—for there is no limit to His goodness.

He is eternally good—for His goodness will never terminate.

His goodness is immutable—and therefore He will never be less good than He is at this moment.

He is so good—that He cannot be better!

He is good to all his creatures, and His mercy is over all His works.

But He is especially good to His people.

His goodness . . .
appears in His works,
shines forth in His providence—but
reigns in all its glory in the salvation of sinners.
Here all the rays of His goodness meet and center!

In the conversion of our souls,
in the pardon of our sins,
in the justification of our persons,
in sending the Spirit of adoption into our hearts,
in giving us eternal life—
His goodness shines in its greatest splendor!
