Page 37 - Shalom: The Peace That Comes From Being Whole

Goodness is that attribute of God whereby He
loveth to communicate to all who can or will
receive it, all good — yea, Himself, who is
the fullness and universality of good, Creator
of all good, not in one way, not in one kind of
goodness only, but absolutely, without begin-
ning without limit, without measure, save that
whereby without measurement He possesseth
and embraceth all excellence, all perfection, all
blessedness, all good.
This good, His goodness, bestoweth on all
and each, according to the capacity of each to
receive it; nor is there any limit to His giving,
save His creatures’ capacity of receiving, which
also is a good gift from Him.
God, who is unlimited in goodness, and
therefore whole in goodness, calls His cove-
nant “My covenant of peace.”
Num. 25:12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give
unto him [Phinehas] my covenant of peace:
Mal. 2:5 My covenant was with him [Levi] of
life and peace; and I gave them to him for the
fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid
before my name.

Israel in the Millennium

Isa. 54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and
the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not
depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of
my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath
mercy on thee.
