What is goodness? The only thing that can define goodness is our triune God! He is good and therefore is goodness. For Christians goodness is a person, and sin is a personal affront to Christ who died and bled and bought us. For pagans goodness is just something that comes to you when you are smart and have a good education. But, we know that this isn’t true.
God gave us His laws so we could strive to become like Him, because He is good. His laws reflect Himself and shows His perfect nature. Matt 5:48 says, "Therefore, you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven in perfect."
Our God is a just, righteous and holy God who shows goodness and we need to try and reflect this. We as Christians, are to be a light to the world, and by following God's laws are able to do so. God will always stay the same and never will never change. He will always be goodness, and His laws will never change. In Heb 13:8 is tells us that, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever." Our triune God will always be goodness.

Great post Des. And because God is good we can not be good of ourselves which just shows how gracious God is toward us.
