Often, in traditional story-telling, there are clear, sharp lines that divide good and evil, good guys and bad guys, heroes and villains. Often the characters in the stories are flat or one-dimensional. They are either good or bad, right or wrong. There is very little nuance. In real life, things often are not as clear and not as concise. If we compare ourselves to others, this may be true. But what does God have to say about this? When we hold up God’s standard, who God is and what he is like, we see a clear and concise contrast.

2. The Lord is Overwhelmingly Good
