The Nature of the Fruit

Part 8

Much More Than a Smile - Kindness

Read Titus 3:4-6 

    The Bible teaches that kindness is generosity, good will, mercy, and especially love toward people in distress. Kindness streams out of a person’s life when that person has allowed God’s kindness to stream in to his life. God delights in exercising kindness (Jer 9:24). 

    Kindness is often the thin end of the wedge of the gospel of Christ. When you show consistent and genuine kindness to people who do not know God, they may open their hearts of God in a new way. Acts of kindness are the signposts of the goodness of God. 

Kindness is a choice, not a temperament.
