Throughout the Bible, we read about one thing- the goodness of God. It talks about God’s goodness and His generosity towards all men, not only the Christian believers but also towards the non-believers.
God’s goodness is far more than His generosity, and He longs to bring joy and blessing to all His creatures as seen in the Bible.
