Good. What is it? Is it something we do? Is it a thing?

We usually think in terms of good and bad. So, for example honey is “good” and poison ivy is “bad”.

But what does the Bible say about good? Actually the Bible gives a rather precise definition of “good”. Let’s check it out.

 

Mark 10:18 (ESV)
¹⁸ And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.

 

Okay, here is the logic:

1.      God alone is good.

2.      God is all there is. ( I keep telling you the order on the Index page matters.)

3.       Anything that IS (exists) is good because God is all there is.

Or, stated another way: All THINGS are good.

 

In Genesis chapter 1 we see the following pattern:

Then God Said, “Let there be _____” … and God saw that the _____ was GOOD.

Why do you suppose God kept saying everyTHING He saw was good?

 

God good.

Me good.

You good.

My dog good.

Honey good.

Poison ivy good.

 

 

Are you getting the picture?
