The Goodness of God
In this essay I will compare the goodness of god with the 10 commandments.
God gave the 10 commandments to the Jews. ... God gave them these rules as a guide to living a moral and obedient life. ...
However, we have to ask, what exactly does God require of us? ... Are the 10 commandments just a set of hard rules that God gave to man that he knew were very difficult to keep? ...
God wishes us to be good and obedient because he likes to be able to reward us so that we can live in a harmonious relationship with Him. ...
God also commands respect for your mother and father because after everything they have done for us they deserve the best respect we can give them regardless because we owe them so much. The relationship between man and God is similar to that between child and parent because God loves, cares and created us just like our parents do to us. ...
Genesis says in the beginning God created and everything was perfect. However after Adam and Eve then man kept on sinning and disobeying God. ... This is an excellent example of Gods goodness because no matter how many times we let him down, he still gave humans another chance to put things right and he didnt make it a difficult task either because he wants us to succeed.
God does not want to nor does he enjoy punishing us but he has to have a balance between mercy and justice. ...
God chooses life so he does not want to kill and destroy something he created but in some situations he has no choice. Justice must be done but only to the correct degree according to the crime committed for example if any other God but him is worshipped then he will bring punishment on those and on their descendants to the fourth generation’.
