THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS Lesson 7 for the 13 th of February, 2010

“No one is good—except God alone” Mark 10:18 How does God show that He is good?  Through Creation (Genesis, 1: 31)  For His mercy endures forever (1 Chronicles, 16: 34)  He shows the right way to sinners (Psalm 5:8; Micah, 6: 8)  He forgives (Psalm 86: 5)  His mercies are over all His Creation (Psalm 145: 9)  He is a refuge in times of trouble (Nahum, 1: 7)  He keeps His promises (Nehemiah, 9: 25)  He forgets the sin (Psalm 25: 7)  He encourages us (Psalm 27: 13)  He provides for the poor (Psalm 68: 10)  He gave us His Son (Ephesians, 2: 7)  He fulfils every good purpose (2ª Thessalonians 1: 11)  He shows love towards all men (Titus, 3: 4)

Only God is good, but we can achieve a grade of goodness, although we don’t have perfect goodness. How can we measure our grade of goodness?

“I would not have known what sin was except through the law” (Romans, 7: 7) God’s Law is a rule to distinguish evil and good. The Law teaches us how to behave, not only how to be good, but also how to act with goodness toward others. It is a sign of God’s good character.

“All have turned away; they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one” (Romans 3:12) Who can be good when he is measured with the Rule of God’s Law?

“Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil” (Jeremiah 13:23) In spite of all our effort, no one can be good by himself. We can do good works, but that doesn’t make us good people. Goodness is a fruit of the Spirit, and only the Holy Spirit can place that fruit in us.

E.G.W. (SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 4, page 1165, on Ezekiel 36: 26)

“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom”. (James 3:13) As Christians we are called to produce good works, “which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians, 2: 10)

Goodness is not only an inner feeling; it must be shown in external actions, in favour of others. We are “good” because our hearts, our purposes and our acts show the world that we really serve God. We are not “good” because we deserve salvation, but because God’s goodness gives us that salvation.

E.G.W. (SDA Bible Commentary, vol. 5, page 1122, on Luke 16: 10)
