THEME: ATTRIBUTES OF GOD
Mark 10:18
“So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.”
INSIGHT
-This exposition about the attributes of God is geared towards helping us know God more, appreciate Him for who He is and continually worship Him. It is not possible to exhaust the attributes of God, but we will attempt to cover a few. Only God is good. Sometimes we attempt to be good basing our thoughts, character and behaviors based on our own standards. As we do this, we sometimes look to our works and the power of our flesh and realize that our righteousness is like filthy rags and we fade as a leaf, like an unclean thing (Isaiah 64:6). We are reminded to keep relying on God and pursue the righteousness of God that is in Christ Jesus. We should also realize that our sufficiency is God who alone is good and has good plans for us (Jeremiah 29:11). Other times we consider ourselves good and tend to judge others and risk being judged and condemn others and fall under condemnation (Luke 6:37). Apostle Paul considered his life as nothing so that he may finish the race, complete his task and preach the gospel even though he was cautioned of his arrest by the Holy Spirit (Acts 20:24). We are called to submit ourselves to God with humility in our hearts, for humility comes before honor. We are also reminded to totally rely on God, His mercy, grace, truth and salvation, that we may realize His calling for each one of us. Only God is good and we are called to revere Him and worship Him alone.
