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.
• People will see it • People will be able taste it• People will enquire about it
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
mercy (compassion), kindness, humility,
gentleness, and patience.”

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.”
