HE...is the good in you!

God is GOOD!

He is exceedingly and abundantly good, and His goodness is a bottomless ocean filled with treasures beyond our wildest imagination:

Ephesians 3:20-21 (The Message)
God can do anything, you know — far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.
Glory to God in the church!
Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus!
Glory down all the generations!
Glory through all millennia! Oh, yes!


Ephesians 3:20-21 (Amplified Bible)
Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams].
To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it).


It is HE who, by HIS GRACE given to us through JESUS CHRIST, provides us with the fullness of an abundant life - Fruits and all!

So don't worry!
Abandoning yourself to His Grace will not cause you to forget to be good...afterall...HE is the only good in you!
Any good we offer out of self righteousness is no good at all. Only the good we allow Him to do in us (it's by His grace through faith).

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 (The Message)
So, friends, take a firm stand, feet on the ground and head high. Keep a tight grip on what you were taught, whether in personal conversation or by our letter. May Jesus himself and God our Father, who reached out in love and surprised you with gifts of unending help and confidence, put a fresh heart in you, invigorate your work, enliven your speech.

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 (Amplified Bible)
Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, Who loved us and gave us everlasting consolation and encouragement and well-founded hope through [His] grace (unmerited favor),
Comfort and encourage your hearts and strengthen them [make them steadfast and keep them unswerving] in every good work and word.
