How to be a good person? | Fruition Pt.3 | Pastor Ken McAnulty

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit The fruit is singular of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

1. God’s character is good.

Can you be good without God?

The world’s standard of goodness is actually just being better than the person next to you.

God has a different view of goodness.

Mark 10:17-18 Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?” So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.

True goodness does not come from yourself - meaning true goodness cannot be had through will power.

2. Therefore, the way God deals with us is good.

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

3. Therefore, the way we deal with each other should be good.

Matthew 18:21-35

Tongues without temperament is toxic.
