The Great Goodness of God

Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! (Psalms 31:19

God only is essentially good. Before there was anything created, God alone existed from all eternity, and was perfectly and absolutely good. God is goodness itself and never obtained it from any other being. Therefore, goodness only belongs to God. (Matt.19:17)
The Holy Spirit in this text reveals to us 3 ways God has manifest His goodness to His elect saints:

1. Goodness laid up in Christ

It was the heart of God to store up all His blessings, all His mercies, love, favor, and riches of salvation in one sure and safe source: In Christ Jesus His Son! It was in Jesus alone that God placed all His "vessels of mercy". God in goodness laid up all the spiritual blessings In Christ. (Eph1:3; Col 2:3) God in an eternal covenant of grace with the Son made all the promises of God "yea and amen" and "sure and steadfast." All righteousness, forgiveness of sins, and eternal life were stored up by the Father in the Son for the elect from all eternity. (Eph1:4; Rom.3:24; 8:1; Heb7:20-22; Titus1:2)

2. The Goodness of God was Wrought by Jesus Christ

God who purposed the salvation of His elect people has also worked it out by Jesus Christ. God so loved His people that He gave His Son to be man. Jesus the God-Man worked out by His obedience an everlasting righteousness for us, and by His death He satisfied the Justice of God against our sin. (John 3:16; Col2:14) And all that God in goodness purposed for His people Jesus accomplished. (Isa. 42:2) Jesus Christ successfully redeemed His people on the Cross.

3. Goodness revealed by the Holy Spirit

Every one that God elected and everyone for whom Christ died, shall come to faith in Jesus Christ. (John 6:37) This purposed goodness and wrought goodness is also particular goodness. "....for them that trust in thee before the sons of men." v.19 It is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that a man will believe in Jesus Christ. By nature man cannot nor will not come to God by Jesus Christ. (1Cor. 2:14;Rom.8:7) God in goodness comes to His own and by His power they are "shall be willing". (Ps. 110:3) The means by which God uses to convey His goodness to men is by the preaching of His gospel of goodness. It is this gospel that displays God's goodness in Christ and this is the goodness that leadeth men to repentance (1Cor 1:21; Rom 2:4). - Fred Evans
