Challenge 3

Ephesians 4:32 (ESV): Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Kindness Illustrated

In this verse, there are three areas we are instructed to live by. First, we’re to be intentional and show kindness to other believers even if it means we must go out of your way. Second, we’re to be compassionate with a tender and soft heart. And third, we’re to emulate Jesus' forgiveness to others just as He has forgiven us.
