A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND

All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.(Psalm 14) All our righteous acts are like filthy rags (Isa 64:6) THE PROBLEM WE FACE

The L ORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him (Nah 1:7) And the L ORD said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the L ORD, in your presence (Exo 33:19) I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the L ORD in the land of the living (Psa 27:13). THE MODEL WE ARE GIVEN

God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him. (Acts 10:38) THE MODEL WE ARE GIVEN

I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with knowledge and competent to instruct one another (Rom 15:14) THE PICTURES WE SEE

They sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts. He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord. Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul (Acts 11:22- 25). THE PICTURES WE SEE

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do (Eph 2:8-10). I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing good. These things excellent and profitable for all(Titus 3:8) THE RESULTS THAT ARE PRODUCED
