Topic: Love In Action
Bible Reading: Ephesians 4:24-32 (KJV)
24And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
26Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
27Neither give place to the devil.
28Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
29Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
KEY VERSE: “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you” (Ephesians 4:32).
Message
Kindness is a choice we can make in any situation. It is essential in our interactions with one another. We’re encouraged to be mindful of the importance of showing love and compassion to those around us. Ephesians 4:32 challenges us to be kind, tender-hearted, and forgiving one another.
Kindness is not just a feeling but an action. It’s about choosing to put others before ourselves, to listen, help, and forgive. When we show kindness, we reflect the character of God, who has forgiven us and shown us kindness through Jesus Christ. In our daily lives, kindness can manifest in simple ways. A smile, a kind word, or a helping hand can go a long way in brightening someone’s day. Let us strive to create a ripple effect of kindness, touching the lives of those around us. “The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel troubleth his own flesh” (Proverbs 11:17).
Lord, help me to show kindness to those around me.
Be kind to reflect the love of God.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
