No one in the world is good.
Making such a statement does not imply that one is bitter or jaded. It simply means that the only good thing that exists does not dwell in this physical world but rather in the spirit world.
He is a spirit, and his name is God.
He is an omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent being that can be challenged by none other. He is a loving God that has no limitations. In fact, God's goodness is more than t
he mind can understand and is only limited by one's capacity to receive.
God is not a Greek mythical creature that is out-dated and out-of-touch. He loves everyone very much and calls everyone his friend and heir.
My father has always been a very healthy individual who never had a need for a doctor. However, when he began to experience symptoms of immense bleeding, he took one of his first trips to the emergency room. The doctors diagnosed him with an incurable, fatal disease. Its name was terminal colon cancer. My family went to war not with the vicious illness that has taken an innumerable number of lives; but rather, we fought Satan.
Ephesians 6:12 states, "For we wrestle not against flesh an
d blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
We did precisely this. However, we did not fight alone. We had the most powerful spiritual warfare weapon that a Christian has at his disposal-God's goodness. God was good throughout the entire experience. When my father was diagnosed, God was good. We all had more peace in our lives than ever before. When my father underwent chemotherapy treatment, he did not experience one negative side-affect that so often plagues this form of treatment. When my father was healed, God was good. He healed my father of that wicked illness, leaving the medical staff at the hospital befuddled. We grew spiritually to a point that we h
ad not previously been.
What Satan meant for bad, God made good.
God provides mental growth and restoration for everyone that receives it.
In 2 Timothy 1:7, the Bible informs, "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
So many people live miserable lives filled with fear and depression. When this verse uses the word "us", it is referring simply to those that are believers in God.
Bipolar disease, schizophrenia, and depression are not in the vocabulary of Christians unless it involves a testimony. We are freed from such entrapments by the goodness of God. People are also gifted with supreme cognitive abilities if they simply believe in God's promise.
This verse also entirely extinguishes fear of anything, anything at all. This includes but is never limited to the fear of heights, dark, rejection, failure, or anything that is not in God's kingdom.
Most of all, God loves you.
This is the single best thing that could ever be done for humanity. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for everyone's sins.
Now, if one accepts Jesus into his heart, that person may enjoy all the benefits of God's kingdom.
Trade your carnal life for eternal life and the citizenship of the kingdom of pain and darkness for the Kingdom of life and love.
This is a simple decision that Romans 10:9-10 explains very clearly by stating, "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
God loves you and wants you to be part of His kingdom.
