Lesson 36 of 49 October 6, 2025

In this Bible study class, the teacher explored the nature of God's goodness as revealed in Scripture, emphasizing its immutability, universality, and eternity. The lesson began with an examination of Psalm 34:8, where the psalmist encourages believers to 'taste and see that the Lord is good,' highlighting that God's goodness is not contingent on circumstances but is intrinsic to His unchanging character. The teacher referenced Psalm 119:68 and Matthew 5:45 to show that God's goodness extends universally, even to those who reject Him, as seen in His provision of rain and sunlight to all. The discussion also touched on the eternal aspect of God's goodness, citing Psalm 100:5, which affirms His mercy endures forever. The class addressed challenging questions about suffering, acknowledging that God's goodness persists even in the midst of trials, a theme found throughout the Psalms and in the stories of Job and Habakkuk. The central message was that God's goodness is a cornerstone of faith, offering hope and assurance to believers in every season of life.

Psalm 34:8

Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

Psalm 119:68

You are good, and what you do is good.

Psalm 100:5

The Lord is good; his mercy endures forever, and his faithfulness is to all generations.
