Attributes of God’s Love – 2

Kindness

 

1 John 4:7 - Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one

that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 

How do we show forth the love that God has shown unto us as believers. We

looked at how Christ had compassion on the multitudes, we too are to show

compassion when His love has been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy

Spirit. (Romans 5:5.)

Another attribute of God that we should exemplify is found in the following

verse.

Ephesians 4:32 - And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one

another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Another of the attributes of God is commanded here. To Show kindness to

one another. We live in an unkind world; if we are going to be the light that

we are commanded to be then we must obey this command to be kind to one

another.

Jesus taught us about the kindness of the Heavenly Father in Luke 6:35 - But

love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and

your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he

is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

Let’s allow others to see “Christ in us, the hope of glory,” (Colossians 1:27) by

being compassionate and kind to those God brings across our paths.
