Kindness and Goodness
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZrlDT3k84U
Lets talk about the kindness and goodness of God.
Quick overview of the Fruit of the Spirit, and it’s singular nature, as opposed to the plurality of the acts of the flesh.
The Fruit of the Spirit
Joh
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w77zPAtVTuI&t=7s
LIFE IN THE SPIRIT OCCURS AFTER DEATH IN THE FLESH
Positional Sanctification has already happened.
You have been saved from sin’s penalty
You are being saved from sin’s presence
One day you will be saved from sin’s power
There is a dying of the flesh that occurs at each stage here as well.
Death of your fleshly condition that separates you from God
Daily death of the flesh that is the precursor to life in the Spirit
Death of our earthly bodies and complete freedom from it’s power
All of the attributes of the fruit of the Spirit are really attributes of God’s nature, stemming from love.
Kindness
God’s kindness is found all through scripture.
What are some examples of kindness you can think of?
Here is one of my favorites.
David has been firmly established in his throne after years of running from Saul, and fighting Israel’s enemies.
God had given David rest on all sides, and we see David resting in God’s blessing.
Saul had spent the greater part of his reign trying to kill David, and David would have had every right and reason to wipe out the line of Saul in order to fully establish his kingdom.
However...
Mephibosheth probably thought David was going to kill him.
David personally killed thousands of men and had directed the death of virtually anyone who had come against him.
DAVID SHOWED GOD’S KINDNESS
What does this tell us about the kindness of God?
1.
It is undeserved (Mephibosheth had done nothing for David)
2. It is an extension of love.
(It was for the sake of Jonathan, who was dead, that David did this.)
David loved Jonathan and showed kindness for his sake.
Goodness
What are some examples of the goodness of God in scripture?
Goodness in scripture is easy to find, but hard to define.
Goodness doesn’t simply mean being good.
It’s about the fact that God is a promise keeper.
Psalm 145
Exodus 33:19-34:
God’s glory is His goodness.
Jesus was overflowing with this constantly.
A helpful way to think about it could be to imagine a newborn puppy.
You have the power to destroy the puppy but instead you nurture it and bring it into adult doghood.
It is the same with Christ.
Christ has the power over the angels, and could wipe out the universe with his breath if he wanted.
Instead we see him weeping over the suffering of his beloved, teaching children, and healing men and women who had been tormented by disease and demonic possession for decades.
The kindness of God, and the goodness of God are good things for us to desire.
But don’t try to pursue them in and of themselves.
