1 Corinthians 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

1 Corinthians 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

Matthew 28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Goodness

Galatians Chapter5 vs. 22 to 26

22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.
25Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
26Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Goodness is a fruit of the Spirit. In addition to good ness the fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.  The fruits of the Spirit seem to be very hard to acquire by a normal person. Nevertheless, for those who live in Christ, they are not as hard as they seem to be.  Indeed, it not easy to be good to everyone all the time. It is a term which carries boundless meaning. Except that He was angry when someone worked against God, Jesus Christ was seen as good to everyone and in all respects and at all time. He was straightforward and angry when he saw merchants selling their products in the worship place. This was certainly NOT an area where goodness was to be shown. Goodness does not mean to be good to be bad or support bad. To be bad or support bad is evil and not goodness. There is a clear demarcation between good and evil. One cannot be good to all, especially to evil. Jesus Christ was good not only in respect of healing the sick, providing food for the hungry, but he was good to the extent of offering His own life for our sake, so that we may not go to hell.

The experience of being saved through the blood of Jesus Christ shows in us, the love for others, joy within ourselves, and joy to be in fellowship with friends, fellow-believers, colleagues, and also to our nearest relatives.   The goodness that we possess also produces within us to have patience rather than hurriedly doing things, or quarrel with others.  Kindness is another area, which Jesus always emphasized and here in this passage, Apostle Paul writes about it in his letter to Galatians.  Jesus asked us to go an extra mile with some one, who is in need of our help, or clothe some one, who is in need of it. 

A search for the word, "good" in Bible shows that the word occurs 685 times.  The word, "good" appears seven times in Genesis Chapter 1 alone.   Whatever God created was good.  He created light, which was good.  He created dry land, earth, which was good.  Earth brought forth herbs and fruit yielding trees which was good.  He created Sun, Moon, Stars and the galaxy, which was good. He created whales and living creatures, which was good. He Created beast of the field, which was good.  After that God created man to  possess all these good things.  

God calls us to be good in moral values and also good in dealing with others.  God is good and he expects us to be good. Apostle Paul writes in  2 Corinthians 9:8 "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work" and in Philippians 2:13 "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure."

It is by accepting this fact that Jesus Christ died in place of us, and accepting Him as Lord and Savior that we obtain salvation. It is this assertion that procures us a place in heaven. He has not only shown us that Worship place is holy, but also shown us that it is not to be used for any purpose, other than what it is for, i.e. WORSHIP. Let us ask Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with the love of God and to bear the fruit of sprit i.e. GOODNESS. As soon as Holy Spirit fills our hearts, we will do what comes from the fruit of the spirit.

The results of Spirit of God living in us are shown in the form of being good to others. Jesus Christ is rightly called as "good teacher". It is not just some good work that we do, which matters, but it is being good to all at all the times, just as Jesus was, that matters. We are privileged because God lives in us; that is why the true followers of Jesus Christ are able to show goodness, which is a fruit of the Spirit.

Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 5:17 that if any one is in Christ he is new creature.  It is true then, that  when Christ lives in us, we will have the nature of his goodness in us and if it is otherwise, we have no Christ in us.  God has shown us his goodness by sending His one and only son, that who ever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. JESUS CHRIST WAS GOOD TO ME, HE IS GOOD TO ME, AND HE WILL BE GOOD TO ME.  God has brought me out for a reason. I survived because he has a plan for me.
