Why did King Benjamin stress the goodness of God in his sermon?

Thomas R. Valletta

“King Benjamin extolled, again and again, the goodness of God, his matchless power, his wisdom, and his long-suffering. These citings are all the more directional and significant, precisely because we are to strive to become like God and his Son—attribute by attribute—in our discipleship” (Maxwell, “King Benjamin’s Manual of Discipleship,” 12).
