Is it a state of action? Is it a state of being?
I think goodness is a progressive state of action. Goodness is similar to kindness, but much less passive. Goodness is going out of the way to do the right thing, even when under opposition.
Romans 15:14 "Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another."
Hmmm. Interesting. Paul places goodness near knowledge and admonition in his series of compliments. So, how are Christians to be good? I think it has a lot to know with acting and pursuing truth and an attitude of goodness and by being knowledgeable, passing on that knowledge to one another.
Desire goodness this holiday season.
Mhm for sure
