We believe that each person has been chosen by Jesus to know Him and be led by Him. We believe that Jesus acts upon each individual, not just when they get saved, but during every season of their lives. Jesus is the Great Initiator – He moves upon us and chooses us before we have the ability to choose Him. He has saved us ; is saving us, and will save us.
His goodness is what we experience. That goodness may not always feel good or match our personal views of what is good, but it is a reality that we find to be an expression of love. As it says, “In all things God works for the good of those that love Him.” And though He “disciplines us for our good,” it is so we may share in His holiness and in the abundances of His righteousness, peace and joy (ref. Romans 8:28, Hebrews 12:4-11, John 15:11, Romans 14:17). So God is constantly working good for us because He is for us and loves us.
