1211A: The Fruit of the Spirit Is Kindness
Kindness is: God with arms that reach around the hurting; legs that run to their defense; eyes that see their very needs even before they surface. Because God so loved, when we were still dead in sin, totally unable to return that love, and totally undeserving of receiving the love, He demonstrated His grace in kindness. How does that translate to our responsibility to society? How does it apply to the body of Christ as it takes care of its own? What about that guy you never liked? We should obey the Word where kindness is concerned.
