"For it is by grace you have been

___________________________
from yourselves, it is the gift of God."
- Ephesians 2:8
Have you ever experienced God's
kindness? If yes, can you share some
"Therefore, as God's chosen people,
stories?
holy and dearly loved, clothe
yourselves with compassion,
kindness, humility, gentleness and ___________________________

Kindness is goodness in action. Paul believes that the

foundation of our salvation is based upon the kindness of
God. From Ephesians 2:8, God expresses His goodness
through the acts of kindness given upon us in Jesus
Christ. You may perform a lot of acts of goodness to
others, but you need to perform them with kindness.
God’s children should be gentle men and gentle women,
with respect to one another and good manners. If the
kindness of Christ overflows in us, we will not have the
desire to hurt others. When you see your brother or sister
at fault, be kind to one another. [1]
