None is necessarily good but God:  He is as necessarily good as He is necessarily God.  [“Necessarily” means that His goodness inevitably results from His nature – He can act no other way].  His goodness is as inseparable from His nature as His holiness.  He can no more act contrary to this goodness in any of His actions than He can un-God himself.

It was not necessary that God create a world.  It was His own choice whether He should create or not, but when He resolved to make a world, it was necessary that He should make it good because He is goodness itself and cannot act against his own nature.  He could not create anything without goodness in it.
