Goods

  
Market in Jaffa, by Gustav Bauernfeind (1848-1904)

The “goods” that people have in the Bible -- their possessions -- represent spiritual possessions, which are desires to be good and knowledge that helps us actually do it. In the contrary sense they represent the lust for evil and the false ideas that support and justify those lusts. When the Lord instructed people to give away or sell all they had, the meaning has to do with us setting aside those evils and falsities that are natural to us so He can replace them with truth and desires for good.
