Fruit of The Spirit: (5) KINDNESS

KINDNESS is the fifth of the nine parts of the Fruit of The Spirit. Kindness can be categorized into divine kindness and human kindness. Kindness is reflected in the Bible with various terms including kindness, goodness, mercy, pity, love, grace, favor, compassion, gentleness, tenderness. In Greek and Hebrew versions, there are also several terms used for kindness.

Kindness.

#n attribute of God and $uality desirable but not consistently found in humans.

%he main problem in understanding kindness is the fact that it is one of a series of terms that are overlapping and not clearly or consistently distinguishable in meaning.%his is true not only in &nglish '!indness, $oodness, 'er&y, pity, %o#e, $ra&e, fa#or, &o'passion, $ent%eness, tenderness, etc.( but also in Greek '&hrestos, e%ee'on, oi!tir'on, &haris, a$ape, sp%an&hnon, epiei!eia, etc.( and in Hebrew 'hesed, to(, raha'i', he'%ah, hen, etc.(. )onsider, for e*ample, the relationship of love, goodness, kindness, and mercy in lu + ,-",+. .evertheless, although distinctions are not consistent, kindness 'like goodness, love( tends to cover a broad range of meaning, with mercy and grace being progressively narrower.

In the second place, it is the believer who can truly celebrate God's kindness, even in areas of experience not directly related to salvation from the guilt and punishment of sin.
