| Summary | "The Good News of God" by Charles Kingsley is a collection of sermons written in the late 19th century. The text explores key Christian themes, including love, goodness, repentance, and the nature of God, with an emphasis on the idea that true worship involves loving one’s neighbor as oneself. Through a series of sermons, Kingsley delves into the essence of God's character and the implications it has for how believers should reflect that goodness in their lives. The opening of the book begins with the first sermon titled "The Beatific Vision." Kingsley discusses the challenge many people face in loving God and argues that this struggle is often due to a lack of understanding of God's true nature. He emphasizes that God is fundamentally good and loveable, and that recognizing this is essential for loving Him wholeheartedly. The sermon also urges listeners to appreciate goodness wherever they find it, suggesting that a true vision of God’s goodness is transformative. Kingsley illustrates that true love for God is rooted in the love of goodness, which should compel individuals to live lives characterized by love, mercy, and selflessness.
