Desire - Is an eagerness to obtain or enjoy an object which we suppose to be
Good. Watts, that arise without any express ideas of the
Goodness or agreeableness of their object to the mind beforehand, such as hunger, thirst, &c. Those which arise from our perception or opinion of an object as
Good or agreeable, are most properly called passions. If our desire to do or receive
Good be not violent, it is called a simple inclination or propensity. When it rises high, it is termed longing: when our desires set our active powers at work to obtain the very same
Good, or the same sort of
Good, which another desires, it is called emulation. The objects of a
Good man's desires are, that God may be glorified, his sins forgiven and subdued, his affections enlivened and placed on God as the supreme object of love, his afflictions sanctified, and his life devoted to the service of God,

Goodness, but by pointing to people or things that are
Good. ...
When a young man questioned Jesus about moral
Goodness, Jesus replied by referring him not to a concept, but to a person – God. The way to understand
Goodness is through the person who is
Good and whose works are
Good (
Matthew 19:17). God’s character reveals his
Goodness. ...
The biblical words translated ‘good’ contained a range of meanings, such as pleasant, beneficial, fitting, beautiful and honourable (
Genesis 1:4;
Deuteronomy 6:18;
Job 2:10;
Ephesians 5:9). The
Goodness that the Bible teaches is the
Goodness that exists perfectly in God (
Psalms 100:5). This
Goodness was demonstrated in the life and ministry of Jesus (
Acts 10:38), and the Holy Spirit wants to reproduce it in the lives of Christians (
Galatians 5:22). ...
All that God does is
Good (
Psalms 119:68;
Psalms 136:1;
Acts 14:17;
1 Timothy 4:4). ...
God desires the welfare of all, and therefore he wants people to do
Good (
Isaiah 1:17;
Isaiah 5:20;
Galatians 6:10). Though
Good works will not earn them salvation (for salvation is the gift of God and is received by faith), once they have received salvation they have an obligation to produce
Good works (
Ephesians 2:8-10;
Titus 2:14; see
Good WORKS). ...
Likewise, although the law of God is
Good (
Psalms 119:39;
Romans 7:12;
Romans 7:16), obedience to the law will never produce a satisfactory standard of
Goodness (
Romans 7:18-19). But the believer can produce
Goodness through the power of the indwelling Spirit (
Galatians 5:22)

Moral Good - God, the source of all created being and
Goodness, is also the last end of man, the Supreme
Good "Who satisfieth thy desire" (Psalms 103). Imperfect
Goods of particular appetites are really
Good only when. These are generally classified as: (a) external
Goods, (b)
Goods of body, and (c)
Goods of soul. While the
Goodness or badness of many acts is determined by positive law, yet ultimately, the distinction between
Good and evil is a natural one, right rational nature constituting the proximate norm of morality and the Divine Nature or Reason the ultimate norm. An act is morally
Good when directed by reason to man's ultimate end, i. Hence there exists a distinction between moral
Good and evil, which has its origin in the nature of things; acts such as blasphemy, idolatry, lying, etc. , being by their very nature
Good. , considered in the abstract, may be termed indifferent, yet every concrete human act is either morally
Good or bad to the extent that it conforms to the moral law, or leads towards or away from man's final end. This quality of moral
Goodness, which may be increased or diminished, is dependent on three factors: (a) the object of the act itself, (b) the purpose or end of the agent, and (c) the circumstances of the act. To be morally
Good all three elements of the act must be in conformity with the standards of morality, while if one of these determinants be evil the act itself will be morally bad
Works, Good - The old objection against the doctrine of salvation by grace, that it does away with the necessity of
Good works, and lowers the sense of their importance (Romans 6 ), although it has been answered a thousand times, is still alleged by many. If the most moral of men are saved in the same way as the very chief of sinners, then
Good works are of no moment. The gospel of salvation by grace shows that
Good works are necessary. ...
Works are "good" only when, (1) they spring from the principle of love to God. Hence
Good works only spring from a believing heart, can only be wrought by one reconciled to God (
Ephesians 2:10 ;
James 2:18:22 ). ...
Good works have the glory of God as their object; and (3) they have the revealed will of God as their only rule (
Deuteronomy 12:32 ;
Revelation 22:18,19 ).
Good works are an expression of gratitude in the believer's heart (
John 14:15,23 ;
Galatians 5:6 ). ...
Good works of the most sincere believers are all imperfect, yet like their persons they are accepted through the mediation of Jesus Christ (
Colossians 3:17 ), and so are rewarded; they have no merit intrinsically, but are rewarded wholly of grace
Good, Moral - God, the source of all created being and
Goodness, is also the last end of man, the Supreme
Good "Who satisfieth thy desire" (Psalms 103). Imperfect

Good - In contrast to the Greek view of “the
Good” as an ideal, the biblical concept focuses on concrete experiences of what God has done and is doing in the lives of God's people. Scripture affirms that God is and does
Good (
1 Chronicles 16:34 ;
Psalm 119:68 ). The
Goodness of God is experienced in the
Goodness of God's creative work (
Genesis 1:31 ) and in God's saving acts (liberation of Israel from Egypt,
Exodus 18:9 ; return of a remnant from captivity,
Ezra 7:9 ; personal deliverance,
Psalm 34:8 ; salvation,
Philippians 1:6 ). God's
Goodness is extended to God's name (
Psalm 52:9 ), God's promises (
Joshua 21:45 ), God's commands (
Psalm 119:39 ;
Romans 7:12 ), God's gifts (
James 1:17 ), and God's providential shaping of events (
Genesis 50:20 ;
Romans 8:28 ). Though God alone is truly
Good (
Psalm 14:1 ,
Psalms 14:1,14:3 ;
Mark 10:18 ), Scripture repeatedly speaks of
Good persons who seek to live their lives in accordance with God's will. Christians have been saved in order to do
Good (
Ephesians 2:10 ;
Colossians 1:10 ) with the Holy Spirit's help

Good wishes, personal or official, and as it were a peculiar kind of prayer to the Author of all
Good for the welfare of the subject of them. Blessing, on the part of man towards God, is an act of thanks-giving for his mercies,
Psalm 103:1 ; or rather, for that special mercy which at the time occasions the act of blessing: as for food, for which thanks are rendered to God, or for any other

Angels thought so, when at the command of God they posted down from heaven, at the birth of Christ, as if ambitious to be the first preachers of it to a lost world, and in a multitude of the heavenly host met together, to proclaim the blessed tidings to the Jewish shepherds, saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace,

Good Works - Salvation from sin and condemnation comes not by human
Good works but by divine grace, and people receive this salvation through faith (

Isaiah 64:6;

Romans 9:31-32). Once they have been saved, however, God’s will is that they do
Good works. ...

Good works as they learn more of the nature and purposes of God through the Scriptures (
2 Timothy 3:16-17;

Titus 3:8;
1 Peter 2:12). ...

Good or otherwise, of all Christians

Good - ‘good’ (ἀγαθός, καλός) may be used of any quality, physical as well as moral, thing, or person that may be approved as useful, fit, admirable, right. Jesus Himself is the expression and activity of this Divine perfection, and so it is characteristic of Him to go about ‘doing
Good’ (
Acts 10:38), as He Himself indicates in His reply to the Baptist (
Matthew 11:4-5); and this, too, He enjoin as the practice of His disciples (
Luke 6:27; cf. Paul echoes the teaching of Jesus when he bids the Romans ‘overcome evil with
Good’ (
Romans 12:21), and assures them that such conduct will have its reward (
Romans 2:10). Paul makes between ‘a righteous man ‘and ‘the
Good man’ (
Romans 5:7) deserves special attention. Just as God because He is righteous reckons righteous (
Romans 3:26), so it is because God is
Good in Himself that He is ever showing His
Goodness to all men, especially in Christ and His Cross (
Romans 5:8, Ephesians 4:32) and calling all men to be the imitators of His
Goodness (1 Corinthians 13). ...
Although the following article is dealing with the Christian moral ideal as ‘goodness,’ this brief statement in introducing the subject of ‘the
Good’ as man’s ‘chief end’ has been made for two reasons. (a) In the Christian view, God Himself is man’s chief
Good, for in His fellowship alone is man’s perfection, glory, and blessedness, and it is God’s
Goodness that man enjoys for ever; and (b) it is because of this
Goodness-this self-giving of God’s perfection as love-that the chief
Good is given to man. The total impression of the apostolic writings is that Christ Himself is the
Good, for in Him and through Him alone man has God as Love. ...
We must note, however, that the chief
Good is presented to us in three distinctive phrases in the different types of teaching in the NT. ...
The idea of the
Good combines character and condition; it includes Tightness and happiness, holiness and blessedness, or, as the Shorter Catechism puts it: ‘man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him for ever. ’ Man, by claiming God’s
Goodness, enjoying and praising it, and by showing a like
Goodness, glorifies God: that is, sets forth the honour, worth, beauty, and majesty of God’s moral perfection (
Romans 15:6;
Romans 15:9, 1 Corinthians 6:20, 2 Corinthians 9:13; cf. Thus the two aspects of the
Good pass into one another: man fulfils his obligation to God by making fully his own the salvation God offers in Christ. We need not then further pursue the idea of the
Good as duty, but may confine ourselves to it as boon. ...
(1) For Plato and Aristotle the
Good necessarily included both well-being (εὐδαιμονία) and also well-doing; a man must have health, wealth, beauty, and intellect as well as the virtues to attain fully the
Good. A man’s
Good is independent of his outward circumstances. Paul assures Christian believers that even the very worst circumstances imaginable cannot really injure them, for ‘all things work together for
Good to them that love God’ (
Romans 8:28). Private property even may become part of the Christian’s
Good, as affording the opportunity for the generosity which is so highly recommended as a Christian grace (
Romans 12:8;
Romans 12:13;
2 Corinthians 8:1-15). ...
(2) A second feature of the Christian view that distinguishes it from the Greek is that the
Good is not the result of fortune or the reward of merit, but the gift of Gods grace (
Romans 5:21;
Romans 6:23). The
Good includes deliverance from sin in the two-fold sense, corresponding to the two-fold reference of sin in relation to God, and in relation to a man’s own nature. This is a present
Good claimed more or less, according to the measure of faith; but as Christians are not merely owners of the present but also heirs of the future
Good (
Romans 8:17;
Titus 3:7, 1 Peter 1:4; cf. The Greek thinker, if he did hope for a future life, looked for the release of the soul from its imprisonment in the body-for a disembodied immortality; but the Christian
Good includes not merely the survival of the soul in death, but resurrection-the restoration of the entire personality (
Romans 8:23, Hebrews 11:8 Philippians 3:21). ...
(5) As we may surely reckon as an dement in the Christian
Good the fellowship of believers, the membership of the body of Christ (
1 Corinthians 12:12-31, Ephesians 1:23), the κοινωνία of the Spirit (
2 Corinthians 13:14 : the common life of the Church in the Spirit), so the Christian life is not individual but universal; it is the subjection of all things to Christ, the destruction of all evil, the cessation of all pain and grief, the victory of the saints, and God all and in all. It is true that the expectation of an immediate return of Christ in power and glory precludes our interpreting this universal
Good as a historical evolution of mankind in manners, morals, laws, institutions, and pieties to so glorious and blessed a consummation, and we are left uncertain as to the mode in which the process is to be conceived. ...
(6) There is one feature in the Christian
Good peculiar to St. As a Pharisee he had felt the burden and the bondage of the Law, and groaned under its judgment, but he had discovered its impotence, and so for him the Christian
Good included the end of the Law (1618400046_44;
Galatians 5:1), for Christian morality is not legal-the observance of the letter-but spiritual-the expression of the new life found in Christ (
2 Corinthians 3:1-11). It is certain that the Christian Church in the course of its history generally has been legal rather than spiritual in its morality, and so this part of the Christian
Good has been unrealized. ...
(7) In the apostolic view of the Christian
Good there are two features which may he regarded as of temporary and local rather than of permanent and universal significance for Christian faith: (a) the expectation of the speedy Second Advent of Christ in power and glory to usher in the Last Things, which faded out of the Christian consciousness, with from time to time futile attempts to revive it, as the course of human history contradicted it; and (b) the belief which became more prominent in subsequent centuries than it was in the Apostolic Age, that the evil to be overcome and destroyed was embodied in personal evil principles and powers, over whom Christ gained the victory, and from whom He effected deliverance for the believer (
Romans 8:38-39, 1 Corinthians 15:24, Ephesians 1:21, Colossians 2:15). ...
Such is the Christian
Good; is it regarded as destined to be universal? Does the NT otter us a theodicy? It has been already indicated that the Christian hope does include the victory of Christ over all His foes, and the subjection of all things to Him, and at last of Himself to God (
1 Corinthians 15:24-28); but these confident predictions do not clearly or fully answer the question whether all men will at last be saved-that is, become sharers of the
Good. This problem seems insoluble even with the data not only of the Scriptures, but also of human experience; and accordingly, whatever Christian wishes and hopes may be, we cannot affirm that the Christian
Good presents the final destiny of the race in cloudless sunshine without any shadow; and thus the believer must walk not by sight, but by faith, in the belief that whatever the Heavenly Father does is wisest, kindest, best

Goodness (Human) - Two applications go side by side in the general usage of the word ‘goodness’ and are also found in the NT. On the one hand, it denotes an inherent quality without regard to its effect; on the other hand, the ‘goodness’ is predicated in view of the effect. Bravery is the
Goodness of the aristocracy in action.
Good objects,
Good circumstances, ‘goods,’ in the sense of wealth or of delicacies, are all so designated, because of their inherent adaptation to benefit the owner or receiver. For the latter, used of persons, see
Matthew 5:45;
Matthew 12:34;
Matthew 19:16-17;
Matthew 20:15, Mark 10:18, Luke 18:19;
Luke 23:50, John 7:12, Acts 11:24, Romans 5:7, Titus 2:5; of things,
Matthew 12:34-35;
Matthew 19:16, Luke 8:15;
Luke 10:42, John 5:29, Acts 23:1, Romans 2:10;
Romans 7:13;
Romans 7:18-19;
Romans 9:11;
Romans 12:9;
Romans 12:21;
Romans 13:3;
Romans 14:16;
Romans 16:19, 2 Corinthians 5:10, Ephesians 4:29;
Ephesians 6:8, 1 Thessalonians 3:6;
1 Thessalonians 5:15, 2 Thessalonians 2:17, 1 Timothy 1:5;
1 Timothy 1:19, Titus 2:10, 1 Peter 3:11;
1 Peter 3:13;
1 Peter 3:16, and frequently in the formula ‘good works. ’...
It will be observed that the ascription of
Goodness to persons is rare in the NT. The reason for this is not to be sought in the biblical doctrine of sin as excluding human
Goodness, for on that view the affirmation of
Goodness with reference to works ought to be equally rare, which is not the case. The conception of ‘goodness,’ while not excluding, and even presupposing, on objective standard of this kind, does not in itself express it. This the word δίκαιος does, for δικαιοσύνη means
Goodness as conformity to the Law of God and as approved by the Divine judgment. The term ‘good’ is reserved for the latter. Among the passages which refer to human persons
Romans 5:7 not only extends the reach of ‘goodness’ beyond that of ‘righteousness,’ but also finds this overlapping in the spontaneous, benevolent character of the former. In
1 Peter 2:18 the ‘good’ and ‘gentle’ masters are so described from the point of view of their treatment of servants rather than of inherent quality. In
John 7:12 there is some doubt as to whether ‘a
Good man’ (in opposition to one who ‘deceiveth the people’) means a man of
Good character or one of
Good influence.
Acts 11:24 and
Titus 2:5 seem to be the only clear instances of the use of the word to describe inherent
Goodness. The ‘good things’ and the ‘evil things’ spoken of in
Matthew 12:34-35 are, of course, in themselves morally right or wrong, yet in the contest the reference is to blasphemy, so that the element of the
Good or bad intent and effect con scarcely be excluded. Paul in
Romans 7:12 says that the commandment is ἁγία καὶ δικαία καὶ ἀγαθή, the inherent perfection of the Law is affirmed not only by the first and second but also by the third attribute; still the ensuing question, ‘Was then that which is
Good made death unto me?’ proves that ‘the
Good’ is felt as that which has naturally combined with it a
Good effect. The ‘good’ of the neighbour which is to be promoted according to
Romans 15:2 is his ethical
Good (‘unto edification’), but it is in part so called because it promotes his spiritual welfare. The ‘good work’ which God began in the Philippians (
Philippians 1:6) is
Good primarily because it has a beneficent, saving purpose, but probably the notion that it is productive or what is inherently
Good in them is also present.
Philemon 1:6) the Authorized Version renders τὸ ἀγαθόν σου correctly by ‘thy benefit’ (Revised Version ‘thy
Goodness’). ‘A
Good conscience’ (
Acts 23:1, 1 Timothy 1:19, 1 Peter 3:21) is a conscience deriving its quality from its content, and therefore presupposes that the acts approved by it are
Good in themselves. The phrase ‘good works’ admits equally well of both interpretations. There can be no doubt that in
Acts 9:36, Romans 13:3, 2 Corinthians 9:8, 1 Timothy 2:10;
1 Timothy 5:10, 2 Timothy 2:21;
2 Timothy 3:1, Titus 1:16;
Titus 3:1 the reference is mainly to the
Good intent and effect of the deed. In other passages, however, like
Romans 2:10, Ephesians 2:10, Colossians 1:10, 2 Thessalonians 2:17, the emphasis seems to rest not on the outward beneficent tendency, but on the inherent
Good character of the work, as conformable to the Divine Law. Paul denies, of course, the meritoriousness of
Good works as a ground of justification, he nevertheless is at one with Judaism in emphasizing their specific religious importance. For the reality of the
Good work the presence of the disposition behind it is indispensable, but it is no less true that, for the completion of the
Good as it exists in the heart, its embodiment in the
Good work is essential. Paul) probably in each case describes that Form of
Goodness which seeks the benefit of others. In
2 Thessalonians 1:11, ‘Our God … may fulfil every desire of
Goodness and every work or faith with power,’ the desire and the work stand related as the wish and the execution, which secures for ἀγαθωσύνη here likewise the same sense of beneficence as is associated with the ‘work of faith

Good and bad, willhave to stand before the Throne of God, not as bodiless souls, butwith soul and body. And further, the Book of Revelation follows upthe words of Christ and His Apostles with some very distinctdisclosures as to the increased happiness of the
Good and theincreased misery of the wicked after the final and open award ofthe Judge has been given in the general Judgment
Evangelize, Evangelism - "To evangelize" is to proclaim the
Good news of the victory of God's salvation. But for Israel, the "good news" is that the Lord has freed (vindicated) the nation and its divinely anointed ruler from the hands of their enemies. When the lepers discover the abandoned camp of the Syrian siege-makers of Elisha's and Jehoram's day, they name it "a day of
Good news" (
2 Kings 7:9 ). In an act of worship the whole earth is exhorted to continually proclaim
Good tidings. The prophet relates the proclamation of the
Good news of the victory of God's salvation in progressive stages until the Gentiles are publishing it. ...
At God's initiative (41:27) a messenger arrives from Babylon bringing
Good news of happiness (good, 52:7). Israel will know peace,
Good, and salvation (52:7). The prophet emphasizes a Spirit-empowered messenger divinely sent "to bring
Good news to the afflicted. Is that not what it means to "preach
Good news to the afflicted (the oppressed poor)"? The term Isaiah uses ( anawim ) refers to those who are poor because of the oppression of the rich and powerful. Any proclamation of
Good news to the oppressed poor, then, must present a holistic salvation with a spiritual center. ...
That the messenger's task is both to announce and to accomplish what is announced"to bring
Good news to the afflicted to bind up the brokenhearted"has led some to conclude that Scripture views the proclamation itself as accomplishing the salvation. Such a view, although it takes cognizance of the Bible's claims for the saving power of the
Good news, fails to reckon with the distinction between Jesus, who both proclaims and accomplishes salvation, and those who come after him, who simply proclaim its accomplishment. They have received the
Good news of the victory of God's salvation and now are encouraged to become "bearers of
Good news" themselves. They in turn will come to Jerusalem and "bear
Good news of the praises of the Lord" (60:6). In the latter case, "great joy" is to be proclaimed as
Good news to all the people. Jesus characterizes it as a time from which "the kingdom (reign) of God is proclaimed as
Good news. ...
Jesus' mission is to be the divinely sent proclaimer of the
Good news (
Luke 4:43 ;
Acts 10:36 ). Jesus' conduct of his earthly itinerant ministry of proclaiming the
Good news is accompanied by healing miracles and combined with teaching (4:43; 7:22; 8:1; 20:1). Echoes of Isaiah and military victory imagery clearly underlie the expressions "proclaiming the
Good news of the reign of God" and "the
Good news of the kingdom. " The "hiddenness" aspect of Jesus' precross earthly mission prevented him from making consistent and explicit reference to himself as the embodiment of the
Good news. Anyone who has received, believed, and experienced the salvation blessings of the
Good news is qualified to proclaim it. To proclaim the
Good news is to proclaim Messiah Jesus or the Lord Jesus or simply Jesus. ...
The
Good news concerns the fulfillment of promises made to the Jews (13:32), so it is right that the proclamation be made to them first (3:26; 13:46). He was "set apart for the gospel
of God" (
Romans 1:1 ). The divine enablement in proclaiming the
Good news is a grace given; a spiritual gifting from the risen and exalted Lord, so much the work of Christ that Paul can say that the risen One himself comes and preaches peace to those who are afar off and to those who are near (
Ephesians 2:17 ; 3:2,8 ; 4:11 ; 6:19 ). ...
As modeled in the early church Paul teaches that the proper messengers of the
Good news are not only apostles and evangelists (
Romans 1:9 ; cf. Since there is only one
Good news, which Christians will recognize over against false gospels, this expression is in the end no meaningless tautology (
Galatians 1:6-9 ). The response looked for is an understanding and believing of the
Good news that leads to a calling on the Lord for salvation and an active obedience to that same Lord Jesus in this new relationship (
Romans 1:5,16-17 ; 10:14 ;
Ephesians 1:13 ;
Colossians 1:5-6 ). A person proclaims the
Good news moved both by the necessity of an entrusted stewardship (
1Col 9:12,16-17,23;
1 Thessalonians 2:4 ) and commitment to the audience (
Romans 1:15 ;
Colossians 1:7 ;
1 Thessalonians 1:5 ; 2:8-9 ). ...
Paul delights in highlighting the spiritual transaction that occurs during the proclamation of the
Good news. Neither this use nor the fact that a local pastor, Timothy, is instructed to do the work of an evangelist should lead us to the false conclusion that the biblical understanding of evangelism in its full exposition by Paul is so broadened that in the end it does not retain its sharp focus of proclamation of the
Good news of salvation to the unsaved

Evangelism - ...

Acts 8:25 ,
Acts 8:35 ;
Acts 11:20 ) and are normally translated with the appropriate form of the word “preach. ” Evangelism has to do with the proclamation of the message of
Good news. ...
Many would, therefore, prefer what might be described as a “holistic” definition, or one that takes into account the “good news of the kingdom. Such a definition takes into account the essential work of the Holy Spirit, the various ways of conveying the
Good news, holistic concern for the persons involved, the need for actual communication and understanding of the message, and the necessity of productive church membership on the part of the convert. ...
Luke 8:2-56 shows how Jesus brought the
Good news. Clearly he brought the
Good news by word and deed, and not by word only. ...
Paul, in similar fashion, described how he had been used to “win obedience from the Gentiles, by word and deed, by the power of signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God so that I have fully proclaimed the
Good news of Christ” (
Romans 15:18-19 NRSV)
Evil - Matter, he conceives, resists the will of the supreme Artificer, so that he cannot possibly execute his designs; and this is the cause of the mixture of
Good and evil, which is found in the material world. "It cannot be," says he, "that evil should be destroyed, for there must always be something contrary to
Good;" and again, "God wills, as far as it is possible, every thing
Good, and nothing evil. Thus, when Chrysippus was asked whether diseases were to be ascribed to Divine providence, he replied that it was not the intention of nature that these things should happen; nor were they conformable to the will of the Author of nature and Parent of all
Good things; but that, in framing the world, some inconveniences had adhered by necessary consequence, to his wise and useful plan. These persons perceiving a mixture of
Good and evil, and being persuaded that so many inconsistencies and disorders could not proceed from a
Good being, supposed the existence of a malevolent principle, or god, directly contrary to the
Good one; hence they derived corruption and death, diseases, griefs, mischiefs, frauds, and villanies, while from the
Good being they deduced nothing but
Good. Samuel Clarke, in his "Demonstration of the Being and Attributes of God," deduces from the possibility and real existence of human liberty an answer to the question, What is the cause and original of evil? For liberty, he says, implying a natural power of doing evil, as well as
Good; and the imperfect nature of finite beings making it possible for them to abuse this their liberty to an actual commission of evil; and it being necessary to the order and beauty of the whole, and for displaying the infinite wisdom of the Creator, that there should be different and various degrees of creatures, whereof, consequently, some must be less perfect than others; hence there necessarily arises a possibility of evil, notwithstanding that the Creator is infinitely
Good. The second kind of evil, which we call natural evil, is either a necessary consequence of the former; as death, to a creature on whose nature immortality was never conferred; and then it is no more properly an evil than the former; or else it is counterpoised, in the whole, with as great or greater
Good, as the afflictions and sufferings of
Good men, and then also it is not properly an evil; or else, lastly, it is a punishment; and then it is a necessary consequent of the third and last sort of evil, namely, moral evil. And thus all sorts of evils have entered into the world, without any diminution to the infinite
Goodness of its Creator and Governor. And though many questions may yet be asked, respecting a subject so mysterious as the permission of evil by the Supreme Being, this is a part of his counsels of which we can have no cognizance, unless he is pleased to reveal them; and as revelation is silent upon this subject, except generally, that all his acts, his permissive ones as well as others, are "wise, and just and
Good" we may rest assured, that beyond what is revealed, human wisdom in the present state can never penetrate

Charity - "Charity, " says an able writer, "consists not in speculative ideas of general benevolence floating in the head, and leaving the heart, as speculations often do, untouched and cold: neither is it confined to that indolent

Good will to all, it extends its influence particularly to those with whom we stand in nearest connection, and who are directly within the sphere of our

Good men, and our complacency for our friends

Human nature...
God created the world
Good and he wanted the people of his creation to enjoy it with him (
Genesis 1:31;
1 Timothy 4:4;
Hebrews 4:4;
Hebrews 4:10). However, as freedom produced the possibility of devotion and
Goodness, so also it produced the possibility of rebellion and evil. Firstly, it speaks of evil in a moral sense similar to that considered above, where evil is the opposite of moral
Goodness (
Proverbs 8:13;
Jeremiah 7:24;
Micah 2:1;
Matthew 5:45;
Matthew 15:19;
Romans 7:19;
Romans 7:21;

Job 2:10;

Motives - Motives pose at least a twofold dilemma: (1) the status of a
Good deed done for the wrong reason or an evil deed done with
Good (or even without) intent; and (2) the effect of a motive (good or bad) that never has opportunity to find fulfillment.
Good motives can prompt people to actions that have unfortunate results (
Matthew 13:28-30 ), a legal principle that has become the basis of much Western law: actus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea ("The act itself does not make one a criminal unless done with criminal intent").
Good motives may result in conflicting actions: some early Christians did not, while others did, eat a special diet; some believers did not, while others did, observe certain days as sacred. The matter is further complicated by the fact that what individuals intend by their actions is not always achieved, and, conversely, every action results in unintended consequences (both
Good and evil ). God's habit of transforming the evil motives of humans into
Good results suggests that God is mercifully sympathetic with the human condition: "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for
Good in order to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives" (
Genesis 50:20 ; cf. A sin of omission becomes reprehensible for "anyone who knows the
Good he ought to do and doesn't do it" (
James 4:17 ). The utilitarian perspective that one should be motivated by the
Good or bad effects that result from an action, not the intrinsic
Good or evil of an action, finds little support in the Bible, since performing a deed for what one perceives to be a
Good result presumes upon the future: one cannot know for sure that the deed will have the desired effect that the motive seeks, and none can calculate all the consequences of any deed
Titus, Epistle to - The epistle urges the maintenance of
Good works and order in the church, and states the principles on which they are founded. Titus was to speak things that became sound teaching, with exhortations suited to those of different ages, and to servants, himself being in all things a pattern of

The grace of God that carries salvation for all has appeared, teaching how a Christian is to live, awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of the great God and Saviour Jesus Christ, who died to redeem such from all lawlessness, and to purify to Himself a peculiar people, zealous of
Good works. Titus was to teach subjection to worldly powers and obedience to every
Good work. Titus was to insist on the maintenance of
Good works, but foolish questions were to be avoided
Fruit - The fruit of the righteous, that is, the counsel, example, instruction, and reproof of the righteous, is a tree of life, is a means of much
Good, both temporal and eternal; and that not only to himself, but to others also,
Proverbs 11:30 . Solomon says, in
Proverbs 12:14 , "A man shall be satisfied with
Good by the fruit of his mouth;" that is, he shall receive abundant blessings from God as the reward of that
Good he has done, by his pious and profitable discourses. The same Apostle, in
Ephesians 5:9 , comprehends the fruits of the sanctifying Spirit in these three things; namely,
Goodness, righteousness, and truth. ...
The fruits of righteousness are such
Good works and holy actions as spring from a gracious frame of heart: "Being filled with the fruits of righteousness,"
Php_1:11 . When fruit is spoken of
Good men, then it is to be understood of the fruits or works of holiness and righteousness; but when of evil men, then are meant the fruits of sin, immorality, and wickedness
Grace - He chooses to save people because of his sovereign grace alone, not because of their
Good works (
Romans 11:6;
Ephesians 1:5-6; see ELECTION). )...
God’s grace in the lives of believers...
Although salvation is a gift of God’s grace and not a reward for
Good works, that is no reason for Christians to ignore
Good works. God’s grace continues to work in their lives, giving them the inner power to discipline themselves, to do
Good, to endure suffering and to triumph over temptation (

2 Timothy 2:1;

Stoics - The Stoics generally maintained that nature impels every man to pursue whatever appears to him to be
Good. Every ne, therefore, who has a right discernment of what is
Good, will be chiefly concerned to conform to nature in all his actions and pursuits. With respect to happiness or

Kindness -
Matthew 11:30 (‘easy’),
Luke 5:39 (Authorized Version χρηστότερος, ‘better,’ Revised Version χρηστός, ‘good’),
Romans 2:4 bis (‘goodness’),
Romans 3:12 (‘good’),
Romans 11:22 (‘goodness’),
1 Corinthians 15:33 (‘good’),
Galatians 5:22 (Authorized Version ‘gentleness,’ Revised Version ‘kindness’),
1 Peter 2:3 (‘gracious’). ’ Its primary meaning, therefore, is ‘usable,’ ‘serviceable,’ ‘good,’ ‘adequate,’ ‘efficient’ (of persona as well as of things). This utilitarian sense of ‘goodness’ passes over into the ethical sense in which it becomes the opposite to such words as πονηρός, μοχθηρός, αἰσχρός. ’ The process of the latter transition may perhaps still be observed in the phrase τὰ χρηστά =‘good services,’ ‘benefits,’ ‘kindnesses. ’...
In the NT there is only one instance where it has the sub-ethical meaning ‘good for use,’ viz.
Luke 5:39; here the old wine is said to be ‘good’ or ‘better. In certain instances it may designate moral
Goodness in general. In
1 Corinthians 15:33 the proverbial saying φθείρουσιν ἤθη χρηστὰ ὁμιλίαι κακαί, ‘evil companionships corrupt
Good morals’ (or ‘characters’), has χρηστός in the same general sense, the opposite here being κακός. In all other cases there are indications that some specific quality of moral
Goodness is intended. Most clearly this is apparent in
Galatians 5:22, for here χρηστότης stands among a number of Christian graces and is even distinguished from ἀγαθωσύνη, ‘goodness. In
Luke 6:35 God is said to be χρηστός towards the unthankful and evil, and the statement serves to urge the preceding exhortation: ‘love your enemies, do them
Good, and lend, never despairing. In
Luke 2:4 the χρηστότης is associated with ‘forbearance’ and ‘longsuffering’; it is that attitude of God by which doing
Good in the face of evil He leads men to repentance

Hopkinsians - It wishes and seeks the
Good of every individual, so far as is consistent with the greatest
Good for the whole, which is comprised in the glory of God and the perfection and happiness of his kingdom. This is reduced into love to God, and our neighbour as ourselves; and universal
Good-will comprehends all the love to God, our neighbour, and ourselves, required in the divine law, and therefore must be the whole of holy obedience. ...
Again; holy gratitude is nothing but
Good- will to God and our neighbour, in which we ourselves are included; and correspondent affection, excited by a view of the
Good-will and kindness of God. Universal
Good-will also implies the whole of the duty we owe to our neighbour, for justice, truth, and faithfulness, are comprised in universal benevolence; so are temperance and chastity. For an undue indulgence of our appetites and passions is contrary to benevolence, as tending to hurt ourselves or others; and so opposite to the general
Good, and the divine command, in which all the crime of such indulgence consists. By this is meant an interested, selfish affection, by which a person sets himself up as supreme, and the only object of regard; and nothing is
Good or lovely in his view, unless suited to promote his own private interest. This is the foundation of all covetousness and sensuality, as it blinds people's eyes, contracts their hearts, and sinks them down, so that they look upon earthly enjoyments as the greatest
Good. When any object of
Good is proposed and promised to us upon asking, it clearly evinces that there can be no impotence in us with respect to obtaining it, besides the disapprobation of the will: and that inability which consists in disinclination, never renders any thing improperly the subject of precept or command. For if the law is
Good, death is due to those who have broken it. That the introduction of sin is upon the whole, for the general
Good. For the wisdom and power of the Deity are displayed in carrying on designs of the greatest
Good; and the existence of moral evil has undoubtedly occasioned a more full, perfect, and glorious discovery of the infinite perfections of the divine nature, than could otherwise have been made to the view of creatures. If the extensive manifestations of the pure and holy nature of God, and his infinite aversion to sin, and all his inherent perfections, in their genuine fruits and effects, is either itself the greatest
Good, or necessarily contains it, it must necessarily follow that the introduction of sin is for the greatest
Good

Good Samaritan, Parable of the - When Our Lord approves his answer, the doctor wishes to justify himself for putting a question which he was so well able to answer, by asking: And who is my neighbor? Since a more or less abstract definition could give occasion to distinctions and discussions, Jesus answered by giving a concrete illustration in the parable of the
Good Samaritan. A priest approaches, who might be expected to give
Good example and obey the Law's precept of charity towards the neighbor, especially as the victim is apparently a fellow countryman, but he passes by. At once moved by compassion, he attends to the needs of the unfortunate, then conveys him to an inn, and pays in advance for the care for the man a sum equivalent to two days wages, promising to make
Good on his return any further expense incurred by the innkeeper

Good works in the lives of believers (
Matthew 5:16 ;
Acts 9:36 ;
Ephesians 2:10 ;
Colossians 1:10 ;
2 Thessalonians 2:17 ;
1 Timothy 2:10 ;
1Timothy 5:10,1 Timothy 5:25 ;
Titus 2:7 ,
Titus 2:7,2:14 ;
Hebrews 10:24 ;
1 Peter 2:12 ). However, closer examination shows that James used the word “works” to refer to what Paul meant by “good works. Dealing with a different situation, James emphasized that true faith shows itself in
Good works, a point Paul that also made. He commends His churches for their
Good works and rebukes them for the works that are not worthy of His people (
Revelation 2:2 ,
Revelation 2:2,2:5 ,
Revelation 2:5,2:9 ,
Revelation 2:9,2:13 ,

Good works but any unworthy works will not survive God's judgment (
1 Corinthians 3:10-15 )
Tares - Our blessed Lord having been graciously pleased to speak of the mysteries of his kingdom under the similitude of
Good seed, as in opposition to tares, the subject becomes exceedingly interesting, that we may obtain a just and proper notion concerning the tares. ...
The parable of our Lord of the wheat and tares contains in its first, plain and obvious sense many delightful instructions; but under this view which eastern writers give, that tares are not simply weeds, that by springing up with
Good seed check the growth, but are destructive and poisonous, the parable becomes infinitely more pointed. " (See
Matthew 13:38-39) But this view of them, as in their nature poisonous, however in appearance like to the
Good seed, is certainly a striking beauty in the parable. ...
I would only beg to add a short observation upon the subject, and just to say, under this view, how mistaken must be the notion of those, who fancy that when our Lord said, Let both grow together until the harvest, that this was meant to say, perhaps the tares if continued under the means of grace might become
Good corn. Neither can the children of the wicked one become heirs of the kingdom, however like tares in the midst of the
Good seed they may grow up in the same field, and bear an outward resemblance for a while to the true corn
Gospel - is the English word used to translate the Greek word for “good news. Although “gospel” translates a Greek word from the New Testament, the concept of
Good news itself finds its roots in the Hebrew language of the Old Testament. ...
Development in the Old Testament Bisar is the Hebrew verb which means “to proclaim
Good news. ” Unlike the English language, Hebrew is able to convey the subject of the proclamation in the verb's root; no direct object was needed with the verb bisar to make clear that the subject of an announcement was “good news. To proclaim the
Good news of Israel's success in battle was to proclaim God's triumph over God's enemies. Believing credit for the victory belonged to God, the Israelites' proclamation of the
Good news of victory was, in fact, proclamation about God. If Israel proclaimed
Good news when God delivered the nation from its enemies, individuals ought also to proclaim
Good news when God delivered them from personal distress (
Psalm 40:10 ). The arrival of this Messiah would be
Good news. The
Good news of God's saving work and the proclamation of that news cannot be separated. Christians increasingly used euanggelion (the noun derived from euangelizesthai) as a specific term to describe the
Good news of Jesus. However, because the Greek language now allowed the content of their proclamation to be separated from the idea of proclamation itself, writers of the New Testament could also say the
Good news was confessed, taught, spoken, told, announced, and witnessed. Godspell meant “the story about a god” and was used because the story about Jesus was
Good news. Because euaggelion was used specifically to refer to
Good news of Jesus, some translators have used other words to translate bisar in the Old Testament, even though the meaning of the two words are roughly the same. This distinction has been drawn in order to differentiate between the
Good news promised by the prophets and the
Good news which Jesus actually brings. Only God calls and commissions the messengers of this
Good news, and, in addition, only God gives the messengers the story they are to make known (
Romans 10:14-15 ;
1 John 1:5 ). ...
Therefore, the proclamation of the
Good news is the continuation of the work which God began in Jesus Christ. God's messengers are not merely telling about the history of salvation when they proclaim the
Good news; rather, they are an integral part of the work which continues through their efforts. ” Mark offers no explanation what the
Good news is or what information it contains. ...
The need for
Good news assumes a bad situation. The bad situation in which humans find themselves and the reason they need
Good news is that sin has entered each of their lives (
John 8:7 ;
Romans 3:23 ). ...
The fact that forgiveness, freedom from sin, and a new life are possible is
Good news. They wrote down the
Good news of Jesus to strengthen, to educate, and to encourage those who already accepted its message

Angels - ...
Good and bad angels...
At some time before the creation of humans, some of the angels, under the leadership of one who became known as Satan, rebelled against God and so fell from their original sinless state (
2 Peter 2:4;
Judges 1:6). As a result there are
Good angels and evil angels. ...
Both
Good and bad angels are under God’s sovereign rule, the difference between them being that the
Good angels are obedient and the evil angels rebellious. Again these expressions may apply to
Good angels and bad angels (
Job 1:6;
Job 2:1;
Exodus 3:2-6;
Job 15:15;
Job 38:7;
Psalms 89:5;

Revelation 9:1;
Daniel 7:10;
Revelation 12:9). (The remainder of this article will be concerned only with
Good angels
Gospel (2) - Formerly it was thought to be the literal translation, meaning ‘good-story. ’ εὐαγγέλιον was originally used for ‘the reward of
Good tidings,’ and traces of this usage are found in LXX Septuagint; cf. But the word came to denote the ‘good tidings’ themselves; and this is the Christian usage. In
Isaiah 61:1 the prophet describes the function of the Servant of Jahweh (or perhaps his own function) in these words: ‘The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach
Good tidings unto the meek.
Good tidings are announced to them. A messenger hastens to Jerusalem, as she sits in the dust of her ruins, bringing ‘good tidings. These instances exhibit clearly the meaning ‘good tidings’; and both are claimed in NT to describe the Christian message. ’ He claimed to be a preacher of
Good tidings to the poor. He is Jahweh’s Anointed sent to bring
Good tidings of great joy to all the people (
Luke 2:10). He made frequent use of the word, and soon after the rejection in Nazareth He described His Messianic function by it: ‘I must preach the
Good tidings of the kingdom of God to the other cities also; for therefore was I sent’ (
Luke 4:43). But closer examination shows that the term was not used by the Evangelists to describe all that Jesus said; nor was the verb ‘preach
Good tidings’ descriptive of all His work. It was reserved for the ‘good tidings’ that He preached. In addition to these ‘good tidings,’ there was ‘teaching’ that belonged to another category. Listeners would hardly describe such teaching as
Matthew 5:19-48 by the title ‘good tidings,’ nor could the word apply naturally to
Matthew 10:34-39;
Matthew 12:31-37;
Matthew 19:9-12;
Matthew 21:33-44;
Matthew 21:23-24. ...
(a) The phrase ‘the gospel of God’ indicates a message from God and about God that is
Good news to men. This ‘gospel of God’ includes, further, the
Good news to the heavily laden Jew that ‘the Father seeketh true worshippers to worship in spirit and in truth’ (
John 4:23; cf. ]'>[1] ...
(b) The phrase ‘the gospel of the kingdom’ describes the
Good news brought by Jesus in its relation to that Kingdom of God or of heaven which He proclaimed. But there is
Good news concerning the Kingdom, and this
Good news is an essential part of the message of the Kingdom. Moreover, this Kingdom, which is offered to all, is a far higher
Good than men dreamed (cf. The Kingdom, as Jesus preached it, offered the highest conceivable
Good to all men. It satisfied the religious instincts of the race; and because these are the deepest and most universal instincts, the message that they can be satisfied is indeed ‘good news’ (cf. Jesus preached ‘the gospel of the kingdom’ when He offered the highest spiritual
Good to all penitent and humble souls. He connected the
Good tidings with His own person. As the
Good news Rhoda brought to the praying Church was that Peter himself was at the door (
Acts 12:14), so the presence of Jesus in the world was ‘glad tidings of great joy to all people’ (
Luke 2:10). There is a close connexion between this ‘good news’ and the
Good news about God and about the Kingdom. He was the
Good Shepherd giving His life for the sheep (
John 10:11). It is
Good news about facts. Jesus used it to describe the ‘good news’ He brought to the poor and the meek of the earth; and this ‘gospel’ must ever be the foundation upon which the Church builds, though the foundation is not to be confused with the fabric erected upon it

Good, the other evil, the latter the creator of the world. It is an important difference that to the
Good god is opposed in the account of Irenaeus a just one; in that of Hippolytus, an evil one. -Tertullian goes on to say that Cerdo rejected the law and the prophets, and renounced the Creator, teaching that Christ was the son of the higher
Good deity, and that He came not in the substance of flesh but in appearance only, and had not really died or really been born of a virgin; and that Cerdo only acknowledged a resurrection of the soul, denying that of the body

Titus, Theology of - Jesus was the One who "gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is
Good" (v. Jesus Christ "gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is
Good" (2:14). One is that believers may exhibit their faith by their own
Good works. As God's special possessions, we are to be "eager to do what is
Good" (2:14). Christians are to be "subject to rulers and authorities, obedient, ready to do whatever is
Good" (3:1). Continuing this theme of
Good works, Paul encourages Titus to speak confidently "so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to what is
Good" (3:8). Finally, all Christians are to learn "to devote themselves to doing what is
Good, in order that they may provide for daily necessities and not live unproductive lives" (3:14). As Paul stresses in the practical sections of his other epistles, there is to be a balance in the Christian's life between saving faith and
Good works, salvation and sanctification

Good courage it is employed to tender θαρρεῖν in
2 Corinthians 5:6;
2 Corinthians 5:8;
2 Corinthians 7:16 (Revised Version ; the Authorized Version having ‘confident,’ ‘confidence’ in these places). In
2 Corinthians 10:1-2, where the same verb is rendered ‘to be bold’ in Authorized Version , the Revised Version prefers ‘to be of
Good courage’; and similarly ‘we may boldly say’ of Authorized Version in
Hebrews 13:6 is rendered in Revised Version ‘with

Enthusiasm - This word, it seems, is used both in a
Good and a bad sense. On the other hand, if the mind be enlightened, if the will which was perverse be renovated, detached from evil, and inclined to
Good; if the powers be roused to exertion for the promotion of the divine glory, and the
Good of men; if the natural corruptions of the heart be suppressed; if peace and joy arise from a view of the
Goodness of God, attended with a spiritual frame of mind, a heart devoted to God, and a holy, useful life: however this may be branded with the name of enthusiasm, it certainly is from God, because bare human efforts, unassisted by him, could never produce such effects as these
Antinomians - Those who maintain that the law is of no use or obligation under the gospel dispensation, or who hold doctrines that clearly supersede the necessity of
Good works. The Antinomians took their origin from John Agricola, about the year 1538, who taught that the law is no way necessary under the Gospel; that
Good works do not promote our salvation, nor ill one's hinder it; that repentance is not to be preached from the decalogue, but only from the Gospel. For instance; when they have asserted justification to be eternal, without distinguishing between the secret determination of God in eternity, and the execution of it in time; when they have spoken lightly of
Good works, or asserted that believers have nothing to do with the law of God, without fully explaining what they mean: when they assert that God is not angry with his people for their sins, nor in any sense punishes them for them, without distinguishing between fatherly corrections and vindictive punishment: these things, whatever be the private sentiments of those who advance them, have a tendency to injure the minds of many
