Goodness
Theology Proper · 6 verses
God is the supreme and infinite good, the fountain of all created goodness, and the final end of all things. His goodness extends to all His works in common grace, yet is supremely manifested to the elect in saving grace. The goodness of God leads sinners to repentance and establishes His people in perpetual thanksgiving.
