Your New Identity (Victory Series Book #2): A Transforming Union With God - Plot & Excerpts
Key Verse For the LORD is good and his love endures forever. Psalm 100:5 Jesus said, “There is only One who is good” (Matthew 19:17), and He, of course, is God. Therefore, everything God does is good, and we are the benefactors of His goodness. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28). However, our finite minds struggle to understand the infinite goodness of God. First, we don’t really know what is good for us. What tastes good often proves to be unhealthy. What looks good may be so in appearance only. What feels good can lead us astray. Even a treacherous act, such as the one Joseph’s brothers committed, can bring about a greater good. Joseph said to them, “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done” (Genesis 50:20). Still, when we read how God utterly destroyed the Amalekites (see 1 Samuel 15:2–3), it doesn’t seem as if His actions are consistent with His goodness.
