Matthew 19:17 "And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God..."
These words spoken by Jesus reveal he did not consider himself to be God or His equal in goodness. The truth is that he is the son of God and is like Him, always doing God's will.
John 8:29 "And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him."
Jesus Christ the son of God.

Jesus asked, "Why do you call me good?" to challenge the man's understanding of goodness and to point him towards recognizing the true source of goodness, which is God.
God desires to be glorified by humanity because it reflects his greatness, power, and goodness. Glorifying God acknowledges his supreme authority and shows gratitude for his blessings and love towards us.
My soul cries out, "hallelujah!" Thank God for saving me.
God is believed to be glorified because it is seen as a way to acknowledge and honor His greatness, power, and goodness. This act of glorification is often considered important in many religious beliefs as a form of reverence and gratitude towards God.
Jesus questioned, "Why do you call me good?" to prompt self-reflection and challenge the understanding of goodness. He wanted to emphasize that only God is truly good and to encourage deeper contemplation on the nature of goodness and righteousness.
It was Eve's disobedience to the Father that led to the fall of man and Jesus' obedience to the Father that saved us. Satan tempted both. Eve believed the deceiver while Jesus rebuked him with the Word of God. The same is true for man today. Our attitude toward God's word will determine our final destination.
You can't. But Jesus wants us to love God with all our hearts and then to love one another as we do ourselves. These things will please Jesus. Live don't worship.
Huh.
In Christianity, God exists in the mystery of The Holy Trinity: God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit. In Judaism, God has several titles which refer to some aspect of God's goodness or greatness. He is most often called Yaweh. In Islam God is known as Allah.
Jesus valued his relationship with Jehovah God more than anything else. He treasured his relationship so much that he even considered doing Jehovah's will as food for him. (John 4:34) Eve's relationship with Jehovah apparently was superficial; she was easily deceived by a stranger. In addition, Adam wasn't fooled, but his relationship with Jehovah wasn't stronger than the one with Eve, so he too disobeyed. (1 Timothy 2:14) On the opposite end of the spectrum is Jesus, who never sinned against his Father in any aspect. (1 Peter 2:22) Jesus' attitude mirrors his Father's in regards to his thinking, to the degree that he's considered "the image" of Him. (Colossians 1:15) (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)
