Goodness Me

“He is not living for God the way he should, but still he’s a good person.” Such remarks often come from loved ones and friends who are desperately trying in their embarrassment to soften, and sometimes even justify, the life-style of professing Christians close to them. Bold

But the hard fact is, there is no true goodness without God. Goodness plus God equals godliness. Goodness minus God equals godlessness. Our goodness is not good enough. The fruit of the Spirit is goodness; all other kinds are manufactured by the flesh and are unacceptable with God.

To separate goodness from God is to produce a devil in angel’s garb (11Cor.11:14). R.D.S
