But He is also making a profound, transcendental statement: There is no goodness to be found outside of God - the Holy Spirit Of Christ Jesus.
This is also the case with truth. There is no truth to be found outside of Christ Jesus who is Truth manifested in the Tri Fold Truth of ➛ the Body ➛ the Word and ➛ the Spirit
Goodness and Truth are One, found ONLY in Christ Jesus.
When our eyes are opened to this truth we will see things as they are. The goodness that manifests in men is inspired by God. Likewise the evil we see in men is inspired by the enemy, Satan.
There are no good men and evil men. We are all just men who either submit ourselves to God or to Satan.
Our contribution to goodness is choice. That is it. We choose to allow the goodness of God to manifest.
Our contribution to evil is choice. That is it. We choose to allow the evil of Satan to manifest.
When a person comes to Christ, they must repent. That means they change their orientation. Instead of being oriented to Satan (which is the orientation we were born with) we choose to be oriented toward Christ Jesus.
Once we are correctly oriented, then Christ is able to manifest His Goodness And Truth in and through us.
We have the same Spirit in us that raised Christ Jesus from the dead. Rom 8:11
All things are possible to him that believes. Mar 9:23
Paul explains that the old Sin Nature, that we were, is dead and buried with Christ so that we, by Grace Through Faith, are raised with Him as New Spirit beings with the opportunity and power to operate in the newness of Abundant Life John 10:10
The strength of Christ Jesus is His Holy Spirit.
The disciples were commanded to stay in Jerusalem until they were endued with the power of the Holy Spirit.
We are not limited by our physical assets.
We can deal with any circumstance, overcome any obstacle and accomplish whatsoever we desire Mar 11:24 by power of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit of Jesus is our power to accomplish His will.
