God's "Good"ness

It's been quite a while since I've written last, but I've felt a pretty big pull to write some new stuffs here. I am constantly thinking of new analogies and ways of expressing my love for Jesus or something else. Here is just another way to look at God and his "Good"ness

Follow me on this:

As defined on Dictionary.com:

"Good" - 32. Full.

I don't want to offend anyone by saying "Typical Christians", but to say "everyone" or "only some" would be misleading, so I will stick with "Typical Christians".

Us, "Typical Christians," say things like: "God is Amazing," "He is Awesome," "His Love is Sufficient," "God is Good, all the time."

Well, I like the last one best, because the statement "God is Good," is stating so much more than what I think most of us realize. It is not stating, "Ya, God is alright, he could be better, but he's doing an okay job."

The English language has words such as "great," "awesome," and "fantastic." Now, don't get me wrong, these words are all amazing words for describing Jesus and all his awesome-ness. What I want to get across is how "Good" God really is. He doesn't need these other words to describe him. God is in every sense of the word, "Good." He is perfect in every situation, every event, reaction, motive, discipline, blessing, interaction, anything you can possibly think of.

Imagine yourself in this situation:

You are in a parking lot, driving down an isle, looking for a parking spot. Someone backs up without looking and smashes the rear end of their car into the front end of your car.

How would you react? Would your reaction be perfect to the given situation? Would you have the perfect amount of love, respect, sadness, frustration, etc? What if the other person reacts so irrationally that the police need to apprehend that person, how would you react then?

What I am trying to get at is this: God is perfect in every scenario ever thought of...ever.

One of my pastor's or bible study leaders (I can't remember right now) said something like this: "If God needed a solution to a problem, how many solution's would he need?"

The answer is One, Jesus.

God fixed a problem with one solution. The problem was a relationship with Humanity. Sin was corrupting the ability for humanity to have a relationship with God due to our inability to avoid it. There was only one possible way for humans to be "Worthy" enough to know God. On our own account, humans are not worthy, but only through Jesus we are able to have a relationship with God. God's only needed solution was his son.

God is Good, all the time, in every situation, no matter what. He can't be anything else, he won't be anything else, he doesn't need to be anything else because he is "Good," in every sense of the word. Think about it.

I love you and so does Jesus!
