To be kind is to act in a merciful way that is reflective of actual tenderness and concerned for another. We understand that God is love, gracious, and truth but Scripture shows that he is kind.
- When God’s kindness was revealed, so was his philanthropic love (Titu 3:5)
- God’s kindness gives room for people to repent (Rom 2:4)
This tender-concern is offered to us with actions that reflect His kindness.
- God’s kindness was evidenced in His showing believers mercy (Rom 11:22)
- God’s kindness was evidenced in the surpassing riches tied to the offering of Jesus on our behalf (Eph 2:7)
- The kindness of God our savior (Titus 3:4) offered through the renewing work of the Holy Spirit (Tit 3:5) made available by Jesus Christ (Tit 3:6)
He saw me ruined by the fall, Yet loved me notwithstanding all;
He saved me from my lost estate, His lovingkindness oh, how great!
Lovingkindness, loving kindness! His lovingkindness oh, how great!
