"Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good" (Psalm 34:8). Taste and see that God is good. The Bible was not written simply to give us academic information about God. It was written that we may know how God is good to us in a personal way. The Bible is our guide to know the goodness of God. We know that all things work together for good to those who love God (Romans 8:28).
God is good to save believers in the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31). We come to God through faith in Christ. Jesus is the only mediator between God and believers (1 Timothy 2:5). Jesus is the true and living way to God (John 14:6). God is good to give assurance of our salvation, through faith in the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4).
God is good to answer our prayers in Jesus name. God is good to give us grace and help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16). The Bible teaches us how to pray. Prayer is our personal conversation with God. It's more than speaking words from memory. Receive God's goodness and grace in prayer. We may talk to God about anything and everything on our hearts. Pray in the name of Jesus (John 14:14).
Worship is our response to God's goodness, through love and grace in Christ. Worship is our personal response to God's goodness in our lives. We worship God with our songs of praise and prayers of thanksgiving. We submit ourselves to God's good will through worship (Romans 12:1-2).
