Gifts of The Spirit Goodness

Fruits of The Spirit

Goodness

If I am honest, after the events of today, I wanted to abandoned tonight’s posting on ’Goodness,’ because within the last 8 hours or so, I have really had my faith tested.

To keep these posts positive, (although it would be easier not to,) I don’t want to go into the events of the day. I feel that whenever Christians are persecuted for their faith, are we not just following in Jesus’ footsteps.

Goodness is an act from one person to another
When we say ‘Good God’ is it symbolic wording of Praising God
Goodness can take place, and be a part of society, if we are prepared to go out from behind our closed doors and share acts of love with our neighbour and friends.

In the story of the passion, Jesus was crucified on Good Friday...a day that Christians remember for his act of goodness to set his people free from sin.

Three days later, Jesus  rose triumphant from the dead, enabling us, alongside other Christians, strong in their faith, from this and past generations, to go out into the world and proclaim ‘The Good News’ of The Gospel Message, to whoever wishes to hear it.

‘Let your light so shine before men that they may see your ‘good’ deeds, and praise your father who is in heaven’ (Matt5 :16)
