Sermon: Nahum: God’s Goodness in Judgment and Mercy
Main Point: Because God is good, He is faithful to both judge His enemies and save His people.
I. The LORD is good in judgment.
See also Psalms 145:9, 86:15; Exodus 34:6,7; Nahum 1:3b
“Divine goodness is the overflowing bounty of God by which he communicates blessing to his creation and to his creatures. … Goodness is the broader category encompassing several of God’s moral attributes. His goodness toward those in misery we call mercy. His goodness to forebear with those deserving judgment we call patience. And his goodness to those who are guilty we call grace.” – Kevin DeYoung
II. The LORD is good in mercy – 1:7.

“Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!” – Psalms 139:23-24
