GOD IS GOOD

God December 31, 2007—January 6, 2008

LET'S SAY YOU WANTED to learn more about God. Where to start? You may do what millions (perhaps billions) of people have done before. You open the Bible. But there's a lot in there about God.

In your reading, you may stumble upon First Corinthians, which announces that God "worketh all in all" (12:6). This statement alone might cause you to focus on some specific aspect of the fact that God is All, thinking more deeply, for example, about His goodness and how that goodness can be experienced as a present reality in our lives—exactly what this week's Christian Science Bible Lesson on "God" sets out to do. It shows us how His goodness blesses everyone abundantly, how people can express divine wisdom and understanding, and how an understanding of this goodness heals.
