True kindness is a gift from God, produced in us by the Holy Spirit. The pattern for all kindness is set in the behavior of God the Father and Jesus Christ toward mankind. God gives sunshine and rain, fruitful seasons and glad hearts, food and all that is good to the just and the unjust alike. He manifests His ever-present mercy, love, and grace through the life of Jesus Christ, who set an example for us in all virtues. God is reproducing this character attribute in those who are genuinely living His way of life. God's marvelous kindness is great and abundant. To those who obey Him, God will have mercy with everlasting kindness. His kindness is also extended to sinners, showing His goodness and abundant grace. The Father's kindness is seen in His sacrifice of His Son for our salvation. God shows the exceeding wealth of His grace in kindness toward us through the life, sacrifice, and intercession of Jesus Christ. Jesus' life epitomized kindness as love in tender action, expressing goodness of heart in deeds of grace, tenderness, mercy, and compassion.

God's kindness is a foundational aspect of His character, extended to us even when we are unthankful and undeserving. He took the first action to call and sacrifice for us when we did not merit such grace, demonstrating His compassion through unmerited kindness. His Spirit of kindness readily gives to anyone in need, without keeping score or expecting anything in return, and it forbears, forgives, and accepts loss to maintain peace. His kindness is not optional for us to emulate; it is a necessary response to the forgiveness and compassion we have received from Him. His fruit of kindness is given to everyone, both to those who deserve it and to those who do not, reflecting His gracious and gentle nature. When we were unthankful and evil in our carnal hearts, He extended His kindness toward us, showing the exceeding riches of His grace. His kindness sustains, protects, and strengthens us in times of desperate need, as seen in the support and prayers that comfort us through His saints. We must respond to His unmerited sacrifice of kindness by offering up spiritual sacrifices of kindness to others, both deserved and undeserved, without expectation of return. Only through His indwelling Spirit, received by our daily sacrifices and obedience, are we empowered to exhibit this humble sacrifice of kindness to everyone, transforming our selfish carnal mind into a selfless, godly one. Each act of kindness, given without expecting anything back, reflects His fruit of the Spirit and contributes to the bond of perfection, creating peace with Him and with fellow man.
