Why is God considered all good?

I have heard God described as an omnibenevolent being most of my life. But where did this notion come from? In the bible, God is described as jealous, wrathful, angry in addition to the loving aspects. So while I definitely understand that God can be described as generally good, it does not seem to be the Core of who he is. One could just define good as whatever God does but that makes the word good meaningless.

God to me seems to be more of the ultimate authority and is beyond notions such as good and evil. Being all powerful would make dissenting opinions irrelevant as no one can hold God accountable regardless.

So when people describe God as omnibenevolent or good do they mean that literally or just that God has tendencies that way? Or something else?

Jesus's experience with sin

When it is said Jesus died for our sins what does Jesus experience from this? Does Jesus feel the sin constantly as he takes the punishment for us even to this date? Or is it more something like there is simply no longer a punishment for the sin anymore, it simply is absolved, even for Jesus after taking them on to himself? Does Jesus feel the wages of sin committed by every believer, before and/or after conversion? Is this an eternal state for Jesus or just a temporary status, such as going away when he resurrected?

Thanks for any insight.

Edit: Thanks to everyone with their informive replies
