God is so good to us because…

He IS good.

Psalm 106:1-8, 19-23

Luke 18: 18-19

Psalm 14: 1-3

"What is sin? It is the glory of God not honored. The holiness of God not reverenced. The greatness of God not admired. The power of God not praised. The truth of God not sought. The wisdom of God not esteemed. The beauty of God not treasured. The goodness of God not savored. The faithfulness of God not trusted. The commandments of God not obeyed. The justice of God not respected. The wrath of God not feared. The grace of God not cherished. The presence of God not prized. The person of God not loved. That is sin." -John Piper

God is so good to us because…everything He DOES is good.

Psalm 106:43-48

"With the goodness of God to desire our highest welfare, the wisdom of God to plan it, and the power of God to achieve it, what do we lack? Surely we are the most favored of all creatures." -AW Tozer

"A saint is not someone who is good but who experiences the goodness of God." -Brennan Manning
