Episode notes
Kindness Reflects Christ
- Christians should exhibit kindness as it's a fruit of the Spirit.
- A lack of kindness reflects a lack of Christ's work in our lives.
Fruit of the Spirit, Singular and Plural
- The fruit of the Spirit is singular, not multiple, meaning Christians should exhibit all of them, not just a select few.
- Viewing them separately is theologically and relationally problematic.
Source of Kindness
- Christian kindness isn't transactional; it comes from God's grace and salvation.
- If you struggle with kindness, remember God's kindness towards you.
