- God’s kindness is not your natural inclination. Romans 3:12
- God’s kindness is best demonstrated with your enemies. Luke 6:27-36; Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:12; 1 Corinthians 13:4; Luke 10:30-37; Luke 10:31-32
- God’s kindness is a key motive for your life to be different. 1 Peter 2:1-3
Ways to reflect God’s kindness to others:
- Give people mercy - refusing to treat them poorly even when they deserve it. Titus 3:4-5
- Give people grace – showering them with compassion and love even when they do not deserve it. John 3:16; Romans 5:8
- Let people hear kindness in your speech. Colossians 4:6; Ephesians 4:29
- Show kindness to people different than you. Matthew 5:16
Application: I consistently make a point of encouraging people and lending a helping hand
even when it’s not convenient.
