Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. – Ephesians 4:32 (NLT)
Having gotten rid of — or killed — our old sinful behaviors, we’re to replace them with godly and God-glorifying behaviors. Kindness. Compassion. Forgiveness. Why? Because Christ first was kind, compassionate, and forgiving towards us.
