God is Good

It has been said that God is love, but where does it say that God is good? Some may say that God is good and evil, a mysterious contradiction, a cosmic balance of what seems right and what seems wrong. How could a good God create such a world like this earth? If you are having difficulty with this question, I would like to tell you my position on this extremely difficult question: is God good?

If you believe the world is only good, and there is nothing wrong with the different nations of the world, then you are living in a bubble, a non-reality. There is not much else to tell you. But if you admit that there are injustices in the world, and pain and suffering, then you're absolutely right, and probably very frustrated by what's going on. I've said all that to say the following, and I warn you it's a hard pill to swallow. God is going to set the whole world straight, but you won't see that happen until the end of the world. In the mean time, God expects us to accept his word that everything is going to be alright in the end. And he didn't leave us with nothing, but he has given us his Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is everything to a believer, like a well-of-cool water in a dry desert. In the end, the guilty will be brought to justice; the murderers, and molesters, and frauds, and liers will no longer be able to get away. I hope you choose to believe God, and accept his Son because with the Holy Spirit you'll be alright.

Is God good? There is no other good but God. He is the source of everything that is good. Thanks for the blogging my friend.
