Hebrews 13:1. In Hebrews 13:1, Paul tells us to “Let brotherly love continue”. Brotherly kindness and love are not acts that we do on special occasions. It is a lifestyle, a Christian way of life. Paul goes on in Hebrews chapter 13 to tell us what we need to do to have brotherly kindness. Brotherly kindness includes:

Verse 2. “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: ...”
Verse 3. “Remember ... them which suffer adversity ...”
Verse 4. Keep Marriage honorable

2 Samuel 9:3. Human kindness is closely linked to the concept of mercy. Mercy is defined in the dictionary as “compassionate or kindly forbearance shown toward an offender, an enemy, or other person in one's power; compassion, pity, or benevolence:”. To have mercy on someone is at the heart of human kindness. It is easy to be nice to someone who is nice to you, but what about people that have hurt you, people that you supervise or control, people that hate you, and people that are just plain bad?

Exodus 20:6. The purpose of Government is to encourage people to do right. What is right and what is wrong is an age-old question, but from a Christian perspective what is right is embodied in the Ten Commandments. Specifically, God gave the Ten Commandments to the Israelites as a basis for them to live right. God's covenant in regard to the Ten Commandments is stated in Exodus 20:6 saying, “And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments”. The Israelites would be blessed if they loved God and followed God's commandments.

Genesis 8:17. Starting with Noah, God began to provide mankind a framework and a purpose of Government. The basic purpose of Government laid down by God was to encourage people to live right. Previously mankind had not had human Government and had failed to live right without laws (thus the Flood). When Noah disembarked from the Ark, God began to give Noah instructions that started to bring about human Government.

2 Corinthians 4:6. The knowledge of God is offered to all of us in the form of Jesus Christ. This new knowledge of God, this mystery, is Jesus Christ who has brought mankind salvation and eternal life . Just as God commanded the light to shine out of the darkness when He created the world; and now God has sent His son as the light of knowledge to the world. Jesus came on this Earth to shine the light of the knowledge of the glory of God into our hearts.

2 Peter 1:3. God calls all of us to have Christian virtues. Whether you know it or not, God has called all of us to glory and virtue. Christian virtues can be described as having a godly excellence, a godly goodness, or a godly righteousness. God's calling came to us through Jesus Christ. If we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, God will provide us all that we need in this world and in Heaven. He has the divine power to give us all thing that pertain unto life and godliness.

1 Peter 2:9. Christian virtues are a refection of the God in us. The dictionary definition of virtue is “a moral excellence, a goodness, or a righteousness”. Christian virtues can be described as a Godly excellence, a Godly goodness, and a Godly righteousness that is reflected in us. Those of us that have answered God's calling through Jesus Christ have abandoned sin and now bathe in God's marvelous light. As we continue in our Christian walk through faith we separate from sin and begin to reflect Christian virtues. As 1 Peter 2:9 says, we “...
