But the fruit of the Spirit is goodness.
Goodness from what I read is the idea of being a good man.
People who do good towards others.
The Barnes Bible Notes says, that a Christian must be a good man.
Other commentaries talked about beneficence, so looked that up to see what it meant.
What I found is that it means according to dictionary.com the doing of good.
Other things I read are about love and then this fruit and others. So, so far, all the fruits start or deal with love, including this one.
So as for this fruit, it is surrounded by the idea of love and to do good towards others and to be a good Christian man or woman.
14 Now I myself am confident concerning you, my brethren, that you also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish [a]one another. Romans 14:15 NKJV
22 Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. Romans 11:22 NKJV
that he should show in the worlds above coming the plenteous riches of his grace in goodness on [upon] us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:7 WYC
To sum this all up we need to do good according this fruit which is goodness.
In what ways do you need to change to be this fruit goodness?
How can you be more goodness?
How does love play a part in goodness?
Think and meditate on these questions!
