God's Goodness

(Matthew 5:45 NIV) He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
(Titus 3:4-7 NIV) But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.
(2 Corinthians 5:21 NIV) God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
(Isaiah 53:4-5 NIV) Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.
(Hebrews 12:2 NIV) For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame…
(Colossians 2:13-15 NIV) He forgave us all our sins,14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
(Philippians 2:9-11 NIV) Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
(Psalm 103:2-5 NIV) Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— 3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Because Jesus Reigns:
1. Jesus reigns over sins so we can receive salvation.
(Romans 10:9 NIV) If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
2. Jesus reigns over disease so we can receive healing.
3. Jesus reigns over condemnation so we can receive redemption.
4. Jesus reigns over confusion so we can receive identity.
5. Jesus reigns over anything we lack so we can receive blessing.
