Scriptures on the Goodness

name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious,
and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. Exodus 33:19
And
the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful
and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth. Keeping mercy
for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin. Exodus 34:6-7
Now
therefore arise, O Lord God, into thy resting place, thou, and the Ark of thy
strength. Let thy priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy
saints rejoice in goodness. 2 Chronicles 6:41
Surely
goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in
the House of the Lord forever. Psalms 23:6

righteousness. The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and

works. Psalms 145:7-9
I will mention the loving-kindnesses of the Lord, and the praises
of the Lord, according to all that the Lord hath bestowed on us, and the great
goodness toward the house of Israel, which He hath bestowed on them according
to His mercies, and according to the multitude of His loving-kindnesses. Isaiah
63:7
Therefore, they shall come and sing in the height of
Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the Lord, for wheat, and for
wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their
soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow anymore at all. Then
shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I
will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice
from their sorrow. And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and
my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith the Lord. Jeremiah
31:12-14

This
book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate
therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is
written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou
shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good
courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with
thee whithersoever thou goest. Joshua 1:8-9
There
failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of
Israel; all came to pass. Joshua 21:45

that ye love the Lord your God. Joshua 23:11

Lord. Psalms 31:24

want any good thing. Psalms 34:8-10
Depart
from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. Psalms 34:14

desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He
shall bring it to pass. Psalms 37:3-5
The
steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness
and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed
like the eagle's. The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that
are oppressed. He made known His ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of
Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in
mercy. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger forever. He
hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our
iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy
toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he
removed our transgressions from us. Psalms 103:1-12

ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good: for His mercy
endureth forever. Psalms 106:1

good man showeth favor, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.

Lord shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all
the days of thy life. Yea, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace
upon Israel. Psalms 128:5-6
Behold,
how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is
like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even
Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments. As the dew of
Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the
Lord commanded the blessing, even life forevermore. Psalms 133

ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant;
and praise is comely. The Lord doth build up Jerusalem. He gathereth together
the outcasts of Israel. He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their
wounds. Psalms 147:1-3
My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my
commandments. For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to
thee. Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write
them upon the table of thine heart. So shalt thou find favor and good
understanding in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all thine
heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord,
and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach
good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to
proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that
are bound. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of
vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn. To appoint unto them that
mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning,
the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called
trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified.

and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and

Savior. Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of
the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man
Christ Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:1-5

time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 1 Timothy 6:18-19

that love his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7-8

May
He make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that
which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory
forever and ever. Amen. Hebrews 13:21
Every
good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father
of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17
But
the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy
to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without
hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make
peace. James 3:17-18
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and
doeth it not, to him it is sin. James 4:17
For God so loved this world that He gave His only begotton Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God did not send His Son into this world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him would be saved.
The thief (Satan the devil) comes only for to kill, steal and destroy. But Jesus has come to give us life, and life more abundantly, until it overflows.
I urge you to come to the Cross today and receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord. He will wash away all your sins and make you as clean and white as fresh snow.
Just pray this prayer and mean it with your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus (if you are not able to call him Lord yet, then just say "Jesus")
I receive You as my Savior and Lord. I give my life over to You. I believe that You died and rose again, and that if I call on the Name of the Lord I shall be saved.
I accept you into my heart right now, and confess that You are Lord and have risen from the dead and forever live to make intercession for me.
Thank You for washing my heart pure and clean and making me whole, and for giving me peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Thank You that now I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. The old has gone and the new has come.
And there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (carnality and sin), but walk after the Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, I believe you got born again and are now heaven bound and will be with the Lord forever and have eternal life. Your sins are now forgiven. You are accepted in the Beloved.
I would encourage you to find a good Bible based local church to help you grow in your faith, to learn the Word of God, to praise and worship Him, and to have fellowship with the saints.
Serving Christ is the best decision you will ever make.
God bless you!!!
