Quotes about Goodness

Virtue is akin to holiness, an attribute of godliness.

If you can be well without health, you may be happy without virtue.

Be virtuous in thought and in deed. God has planted in you, for a purpose, a divine urge which may be easily subverted to evil and destructive ends.

If we seek things that are virtuous and lovely, we surely will find them. Conversely, if we seek for evil, we will find that also.

I know it's difficult. But, yes, God is working even in the midst of whatever problem you're going through. He's working in both seen and unseen ways. He's working to put you on a path that you'll never regret, a path of extraordinary goodness that's a reflection of his character. In the meantime, your task is to dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness.

God's glory matters more than anything. If people don't know how great and gracious and good He is, how will they not choose something of lesser value? How will they know He's better than everything else if they don't see Him on display in someone like you?

Plant what is right. Then you will harvest good things." —HOSEA 10:12 ICB

He that does good to another does good also to himself.

They shall be My people, and I will be their God; then I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them. And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from doing them good; but I will put My fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from Me." (Jeremiah 32:38—40)

When we filter everything through past hurts, rejections, and experiences, we find it impossible to believe God. We cannot believe He means what He says. We doubt His goodness and faithfulness since we judge Him by the standards set by man in our lives. But God is not a man! He cannot lie (Num. 23:19). His ways are not like ours, and His thoughts are not ours (Isa. 55:8—9).

There is nothing good for you outside of God's wisdom or Word, nothing at all.

Those who truly believe will exhibit a changed nature and no longer produce the fruit of an evil one.
