The Monthly Biblical Question!

Did God mention His goodness in His proclamation in Exodus 34?

Exodus 34:5-7

Then the LORD came down in the cloud and stood there with him, and proclaimed the name of the LORD. And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and fourth generation.”

Answer & Reflection

Yes, God is abounding in goodness and truth! You can read more in our previous question: What did God proclaim in Exodus 34?

Because of the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross, we can proclaim His goodness in our lives! He has saved us and redeemed us! He has set us free from sin, bondage and shame. We are not perfect but we know that in Christ Jesus we find the forgiveness of our sins and the gift of eternal life!
