Fruit of the Spirit - Part 6: Goodness

Wawasee Bible Sermon Audio

Part 6 - SERIES: Fruit of the Spirit Goodness is moral excellence. A close synonym is “righteousness”, which you might think of as “right-ness”. Jesus alone is good, and he is altogether good. His goodness is eternal and perfect! But what about humanity? Are we born “good”? And if not, where can we get true goodness and righteousness at the core of who we are? Jesus alone is good, and the great truth of the Gospel is that Jesus gives us his goodness. He imputes his righteousness to those who put their faith in him. But it doesn’t stop there, because he then insists that we live out this new identity and do good ourselves, bearing the fruit of goodness.
