144 A b u n d a n t L i v i n gagain and again. This is a terrible and dangerous mistake. Theapostle Paul warns about this in Romans 11:22:Consider therefore the kindness and sternnessof God: sternness to those who fell, butkindness to you, provided that you continue inHis kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cutoff.Goodness. Every person should be indebted to God for Hisplentiful and continuous blessings. Psalm 145:9 says, “TheLord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.”“He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sendsrain on the righteous and the unrighteous” (Matthew 5:45). Therebellious person certainly does not deserve such blessings, butGod’s goodness is freely extended to everyone. It is writtenin John 1:16: “From the fullness of his grace we have allreceived one blessing after another.” Everyone should thankGod continually for such blessings as life, health, rain, crops,family, daily provisions, protection, or other blessings receivedfrom Him. As the apostle James wrote, “Every good andperfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of theheavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows”(James 1:17).Application6 Answer the following:a) Explain why God’s kindness and goodness are extended toall people, whether good or evil.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .b) State what limit there is to God’s kindness and goodness torebellious people.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
K i n d n e s s a n d G o o d n e s s : T h e T w i n F r u i t145Principles of Kindness and GoodnessObjective 4. State principles related to biblical kindness andgoodness.Service to OthersGodliness and goodness cannot be disassociated. Thereare two divine principles involved here: 1) Personal salvation,and 2) Service to others. Goodness was God’s plan for manfrom the beginning. Man’s spiritual condition affects hissocial interactions. We see this illustrated in the two greatestcommandments (see Mark 12:29–31):RELATIONSHIP TO GODRELATIONSHIP TO OTHERS1. Love the Lord your God. 2. Love your neighbor asyourself.This principle can be further illustrated by two sets ofquestions in the Bible:RELATIONSHIP TO GODGenesis 3:9 “‘Where areyou?’”Luke 10:25 “‘What must Ido to inherit eternal life?’”RELATIONSHIP TO OTHERSGenesis 4:9 “‘Where is yourbrother?’”Luke 10:29 “‘And who is myto neighbor?’”In the examples from Genesis, God asked the first questionof Adam and Eve immediately after they had sinned bydisobeying Him. His question was one of concern about theirspiritual condition. He asked the second question of Cainimmediately after he had murdered his brother Abel. God’squestion was one of concern about the evil he had done to hisbrother.In the examples from Luke, these are the two questionswhich an expert in the law asked Jesus. The first relates tohis spiritual condition, and the second relates to his socialcondition. His personal relationship to God had to be dealtwith first: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul,strength, and mind.” Then his relationship of service to othersfollowed: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
