KINDNESS & GOODNESS

Galatian 5:22-25

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our

lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,

faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law

against these things!

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the

passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and

crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let

us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.

KINDNESS & GOODNESS

Kindness is more about our attitude and goodness is more about the things we do for others.

John 3:16-17

“For this is how God loved the world: He gave

his one and only Son, so that everyone who

believes in him will not perish but have eternal

life. God sent his Son into the world not to judge

the world, but to save the world through him.”

Titus 3:4-5

“But when God our Savior revealed his kindness

and love, he saved us, not because of the

righteous things we had done, but because of his

mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new

birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.”

Colossians 3:12

12 Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you

must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy

(compassion), kindness, humility, gentleness, and

patience. 13 Make allowance for each other’s faults, and

forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord

forgave you, so you must forgive others. 14 Above all,

clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in

perfect harmony.

Colossians 3:12

“Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves,

you MUST clothe yourselves with tenderhearted

Sinful Nature vs. God’s Nature

Colossians 3:10

“Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you

learn to know your Creator and become like him.”

Luke 10:27

“You must love the Lord your God with all your

heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your

mind. And, Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Who is my neighbor?

Parable of the Good Samaritan

30 Jesus replied with a story: “A Jewish man was traveling

from Jerusalem down to Jericho, and he was attacked by

bandits. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him up, and

left him half dead beside the road.

31 “By chance a priest came along. But when he saw the

man lying there, he crossed to the other side of the road

and passed him by. 32 A Temple assistant walked over

and looked at him lying there, but he also passed by on

the other side.

33 “Then a despised Samaritan came along, and when he

saw the man, he felt compassion for him. 34 Going over to

him, the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive oil and

wine and bandaged them. Then he put the man on his own

donkey and took him to an inn, where he took care of him.

35 The next day he handed the innkeeper two silver coins,

telling him, ‘Take care of this man. If his bill runs higher than

this, I’ll pay you the next time I’m here.’

36 “Now which of these three would you say was a neighbor

to the man who was attacked by bandits?” Jesus asked.

37 The man replied, “The one who showed him mercy.”

Then Jesus said, “Yes, now go and do the same.”

"What will happen to me if I help?"

"What will happen to me if I help?"

"What will happen to the man if I don't help?"

Colossians 3:12

“…, you MUST clothe yourselves with

tenderhearted mercy (compassion), kindness,

humility, gentleness, and patience.”

Greek “chrestos” (chraystos)

It is a spirit of care for others, a desire to make

someone else’s life easier, a carrying of burdens.

Matthew 11:28-30

28 Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who

are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give

you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach

you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and

you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is

easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

Matthew 11:30

For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I

give you is light.”

Mark 8:35

“If you insist on saving your life, you will lose it.

Only those who throw away their lives for my sake

and for the sake of the Good News will ever know

what it means to really live.”

Colossians 3:12

“…, you MUST clothe yourselves with

tenderhearted mercy (compassion), kindness,

humility, gentleness, and patience.”
