Chrestotes (Greek), pronounced khray-stot'-ace, meaning:
useful moral excellence of character or demeanor, gracious, gentle,
goodness, and kindness.
Kindness is planted in seed form,
imputed, and ingrained in the new nature of a new Christian under the
code name of "fruit." It's ours to be developed by the work of the
Spirit... it's to be shown in all of our human contacts. The goal is for
each of us to be as kind to others as Jesus Christ in His mercy has
been kind to us. Kindness is a sign of greatness! It is intended to
pervade and touch our entire nature. It is to replace the harsh and
hardness. Jesus was a kind person, and people are attracted to kindness
personified.
But the fruit of the spirit is Love, Joy, Peace,
Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and
Self-Control.... - Galations 5:22 23
