People will contend vigorously for the goodness of man. Some call all humanity children of God. Natural men are not the children of God, but the children of disobedience and wrath. Only born again people are the children of God, who have received as a gift a new nature. People may say that society shows the goodness of man, even without Christ. People can live harmoniously in society for different reasons, but man’s goodness is not one of these reasons.
They live in harmony because:
1. Of the restraint of law.
2. Of the restraint of the Holy Spirit.
3. Of the restraint of common grace.
4. Because God is restraining man to fulfil His purposes on the earth.
5. Because it is in their own self-interest to do so.
