June 25, 2021
What does the Bible say about Goodness?
The Bible tells us that "every good gift.. is from above, coming down from the Father.." (James 1:17) It is from God that all goodness originates and exists in the world. We only have goodness, virtue, and love as creations of God in his image.

Here is a collection of Bible verses about goodness, virtue, and righteousness for encouragement to seek what is good and abhor what is evil! May our love for God be genuine and steadfast.
