God's Universal Goodness
Most commentators emphasize that God's goodness is universal, extending to every part of His creation. Scholars like Spurgeon note that His mercy is found everywhere, like dew on a thistle as well as a rose. Calvin connects this to Jesus' teaching that God sends rain on the just and the unjust, showing a general, sustaining goodness to all people and things, regardless of their relationship with Him.
