Galatians 5:22 ...goodness...

The fruit of the Spirit is ...goodness...

God is good. Since the Holy Spirit is God, he is also good and brings out goodness in those who follow him. What does it mean to be good? It means always doing what is right. It menans being god like. It means not being compromized. But this is just about not being bad. Being good means more. It is generosity, kindness, thoughfulness, lovingkindness, care, taking time, patience, love, forgiveness, watchfulness, looking after, saying the right word, being there, bravery, standing up to be counted and staying. All these are encompassed by goodness and many more.
