The Gospel




Yes, you believe God is holy and good, and you are correct!

But did you know that Jesus says that ONLY God is good? He said this in a few different places.
In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus said, “No one is good but One, that is, God.” (Mark 10:18)
The Bible also tells us all good things come from God.
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” (James 1:17)
And, yes, God IS holy.
The angels in heaven declare, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” (Isaiah 6:3, and also see Revelations 4:8)

The Bible also says, “Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?” (Exodus 15:11)
Now let’s look at the next question:

Do you believe that you have sinned? In other words, do you believe that you have violated God’s holiness and goodness by doing your own thing in opposition to God’s holiness and goodness? The Bible calls this sin.
