Kindness

by Robert Strand

Chrestotes (Greek), pronounced khray-stot'-ace, useful moral excellence of character or demeanor, gracious, gentle, goodness, and kindness. Kindness is planted in seed form, imputed, and ingrained in the new nature of a new Christian under the code name of "fruit." It's ours to be developed by the work of the Spirit... it's to be shown in all of our human contacts. The goal is for each of us to be as kind to others as Jesus Christ in His mercy has been kind to us. Kindness is a sign of greatness! It is intended to pervade and touch our entire nature. It is to replace the harsh and hardness. Jesus was a kind person, and people are attracted to kindness personified. But the fruit of the spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self-Control.... - Galations 5:22 23 In these Bible studies from best-selling author Robert Strand, you will learn about yourself and how to relate to others as you gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be in Christ.

This is more of a “companion” study guide for a book that I wish the author would have written. The stories are not directly related to the theme, although they are inspirational and applicable, to a minor extent. The written material could be contained in about 10-20% of the entire book.

This study reminds us that kindness to others is for God's sake, not ours or theirs alone. Jesus was kind to us while we were still sinners. We can be kind to others who are also still sinners. Christ had compassion for us in our ignorance, so we should too. We are to meet people's needs for God, not because they deserve it.
