GOD ALONE IS GOOD

A certain Ruler asked Him (Christ Jesus)

Good Teacher, (You who are essentially and perfectly morally good),

What shall I do to Inherit Eternal Life

[That is, to Partake of Eternal Salvation in Messiah's Kingdom]?

Jesus said to him,

Why do you call Me (essentially and perfectly morally) good?

NO ONE (IS ESSENTIALLY AND PERFECTLY MORALLY) GOOD

EXCEPT GOD ONLY.

(Luke 18:18, 19, AMP)

It is Critical for Christians to understand

That the only “goodness” in this World is Motivated by God.

Nothing, outside of what is Motivated by God, is Good.

Everything, outside of what is Motivated by God,

Is Motivated by Satan, the Ruler of All

Who do not belong to Christ Jesus—Who are not Born Again—

Who are not walking in the Light of Christ Jesus.

(1 John 5:19)

Everything that is not Good is Evil;

This is a Black and White Issue.

This is why the World is always in a Desperate Condition--

Satan keeps the godless World in a Desperate Condition.

His desire is to send the Whole World to Hell--

The Hell he is Destined for.

And Scripture tells us he nearly succeeds.

(Revelation 13)

In the End, the only ones who do not go to Hell with Satan,

Are those whose names are Written in the Lamb's Book of LIFE.

(Revelation 13:8)

What do you see around you that is Motivated by God?

There is Precious little.

Most of what we see around us is Motivated by Satan.

We, who Believe, are here to Overcome this Wicked, Evil World.

Scripture tells us how this is done:

And they have Overcome (conquered) him (Satan)

By means of the Blood of the Lamb

And the Utterance of their Testimony,

For they did not love and cling to life

Even when faced with Death--

Holding their lives Cheap

Till they had to Die [for their witnessing].

(Revelation 12:11, AMP)

Christ Jesus instructed His Disciples to Pray like this:

Our Father Who is in Heaven,

Hallowed be (kept holy) be Your Name.

Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done,

On Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our Daily Bread,

And forgive us our Debts,

As also we have forgiven

(Left, remitted and let go the debts,

And given up resentment against) our Debtors.

And lead (bring) us not into Temptation,

BUT DELIVER US FROM THE EVIL ONE.

(Matthew 6:9-13, AMP)

Only God in us, Christ living IN and THROUGH us

(The goodness of God)

Enables us to Overcome this World ruled by Satan.

The Apostle Paul admonishes us:

And let us Not lose heart and grow Weary and Faint

In Acting Nobly and doing Right (good),

For in due time and at the appointed Season

We shall Reap,

IF WE DO NOT LOOSEN AND RELAX OUR COURAGE AND FAINT.

So then, as occasion and opportunity open to us,

LET US DO GOOD (MORALLY) TO ALL PEOPLE

[Not only being useful or profitable to them,

But also doing what is for their Spiritual Good and advantage].

BE MINDFUL TO BE A BLESSING

ESPECIALLY TO THOSE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH--

THOSE WHO BELONG TO GOD'S FAMILY WITH YOU,

THE BELIEVERS.

(Galatians 6:9, 10, AMP)
