FAITH CAPSULE: Doing good is the character of God.

Proverbs 6

Good is what God looked for throughout His history and creation.
Through the scriptural verses, the word of God repeatedly admonishes all about the importance of doing good, 
“Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.” (3 John 1:11) “And who is he who will harm you if you become followers of what is good?” (1Peter 3:13)
“But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.” (Hebrews 13:16) 
“This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men.” (Titus 3:8) 
“Truly God is good to Israel, to such as are pure in heart.” (Psalm 73:1)
What is doing good before good God?
Doing good describes one as morally excellent, righteous, pious (having or showing a dutiful spirit, to be reverence for God) 
Doing good is what God likes but hates evil, the opposite of doing good. 
Knowing and understanding what God hates should make obeying the word of God. 
Doing good is also about staying away from what God hates. 
The book of Proverbs 6:16-19 identifies seven things the Lord God hates: “These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, and One who sows discord among brethren.” 
Knowing what God hates should keep man to be doing good.
God is good. 
His Spirit is good. (Psalm 143:10) 
Doing good is the character of God.
Jesus responded to a ruler calling Him good, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good, but one that is God. (Luke 18:19) 
There is no good as God. 
It is the goodness of God that makes Him endure for everlasting. (Psalm 118:1, 136:1)
Those who study the word will understand and know the importance of doing good to the glory of God. 
Also, knowledge and understanding of doing good will provoke the good hand of God upon one doing good. 
Doing good is what is acceptable to God. 
Since the beginning of creation, it is what is good that God expects. 
The Bible records, “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light” and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good…” (Genesis 1:1-4) 
Let doing good be your character before God.

Prayer for today: Ask God to impact you by doing good for His glory.
