GOODNESS IS HIS UNFAILING LOVE IN ACTION

There is only goodness coming out of the Heavenly Father's unfailing love. Acts 10:38 (NKJV) how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.Another way of saying God anointed Jesus is unfailing love anointed Jesus to go about doing good. The Father's love will do good, and this is the goodness of the Father. He will only do good, not anything bad. The Father's unfailing love will lead us and guide us in His strength.Exodus 15:13 (NIV) In Your unfailing love You will lead the people You have redeemed. In Your strength You will guide them to Your holy dwelling.Then Romans 2:4 says the goodness of God leads us. Romans 2:4 (NKJV) Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?Hence, the goodness of God is His unfailing love in action. Even when we're going in the wrong direction, His goodness leads us to repentance (or turn around). Goodness is His love leading you. In His goodness, He will lead you. Let's take a look at the definition of goodness.It signifies "not merely goodness as a quality, rather it is goodness in action, goodness expressing itself in deeds…" [Vine, W. E., Unger, M. F., & White, W., Jr. (1996). Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words (Vol. 2, p. 274). Nashville, TN: T. Nelson.]The love of God causes Him to do good because goodness is expressed in deeds. Out of the abundance of His love, there is goodness. The love of the Father can be seen in His goodness in action. When He heals us, it is goodness in action. His goodness flows from His love for His children. We know God is good. So we rest in His love because He will do or work something good out for us. From the love of the Father will come the goodness of God. The goodness of the Father will lead us to turn around (repent). He will lead us into the future. He will lead us out of where we are trapped. He will lead us through the most challenging times and deliver us out of bondage, or when we are going nowhere in life.Romans 8:28 (NET) And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose …His unfailing love will do something and work something good out of any situation for us. The Father will always do something for you so that something good emerges. This is the goodness of God and His unfailing love for you. Goodness is His unfailing love in action. Rev.

良善是神无止境的爱转化为行动

天父无止境的爱中别无其他，只有良善。使徒行传10:38 神怎样以圣灵和能力膏拿撒勒人耶稣，这都是你们知道的。他周流四方，行善事，医好凡被魔鬼压制的人，因为神与他同在。神膏抹耶稣的另一种说法是：无止境的爱膏抹了耶稣，让祂能去周流四方，行善事。天父的爱是行善的，这就是天父的良善之所在。祂只会行善，不会作恶。天父无止境的爱会带领我们，祂的能力会引导我们。出埃及记15:13 【新国际版】你以不离不弃的爱带领你所救赎的百姓；你以能力引导他们到你的圣所。 罗马书2章4节说，神用恩慈引导我们。这里的“恩慈”和“良善”是同一个词。罗马书2:4 还是你藐视他丰富的恩慈、宽容、忍耐，不晓得他的恩慈是领你悔改呢？神的良善就是祂无止境的爱在行动。即使我们走错了方向，也是祂的恩慈带领我们悔改（知错而返）。良善就是祂的爱在引导我们。祂会以良善引导你。让我们来看一下良善一词的定义：“良善”强调的不仅是良善的品德，更是良善的行为，是通过行为表现出来的良善…” [Vine, W. E., Unger, M. F., & White, W., Jr. (1996). Vine’s Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words (Vol. 2, p. 274). Nashville, TN: T. Nelson.]神的爱使祂行善，因为良善是通过行动表现出来的。良善乃是出于祂丰盛的慈爱。天父的良善化为行动时，你就能从中看到祂的爱。当祂医治我们的时候，是祂的良善在行动。祂的良善从祂的爱中涌流出来，流向祂的儿女。我们知道神是好的，所以我们能够安息在祂的慈爱中，因为祂会为我们行善事，让好事在我们身上发生。天父的爱中有神的良善发出来。天父的良善会引导我们转回（悔改）。祂会引导我们进入未来。祂会引导我们从现在的困境中走出来。祂会引导我们渡过艰难，拯救我们脱离捆绑，让我们在迷茫中找到方向。罗马书8:28【新英语译本】我们晓得万事都互相效力，叫爱神的人得益处，就是按他旨意被召的人，祂无止境的爱会为我们而行动，无论在任何情况下，祂都会让万事为你效力，让你得益处。天父总是会为你做事，好让一些好事发生。这就是神的良善和祂对你无止境的爱。良善就是祂无止境的爱在行动。耀光牧师新加坡信心教会请访问我们的中文播客,faithchurch.sg/牧师手札/#牧师手札 ...
