Barnabas, a good man

 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord. For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord. Acts 11:23, 24

The Bible calls Barnabas good. He is one of my favorite biblical characters of the New Testament.

1. He was filled with the good Spirit; the Holy Spirit.

2. He was filled with a good thing; faith.

3. He rejoiced over a good thing: when he saw God's grace, God's work in people.

4. He gave the Christians a good exhortation; to cleave unto the Lord, with purpose of heart.

Here is my heart’s desire; to cleave unto the Lord with purpose of heart.
