What is goodness?
Goodness describes who we really are on the inside, even if no one is watching. The Bible tells us that a “good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him” (Matthew 12:35) Goodness isn’t something we can have without thinking about it. Goodness comes when we’re careful to make choices that show we live for God.
Goodness means we are dependable and honest. People can count on us to be truthful. We are quick to see and meet needs and to help others.
How can others see goodness in us?
By choosing goodness, we can influence others. Jesus’ goodness influenced Zacchaeus to change. Goodness shows through our actions. Zacchaeus’s goodness showed through his generosity and willingness to pay back what he had taken from others.
