The Greek charis means "beauty, endearment, loveliness," (2) grace, pleasure,
favor," (3) "thanks, gratitude," and (4) "proof of favor, gift of grace, show of love. Paul uses this
word for the gifts of the Spirit (1 Cor. 12). It points to loving another,
by using pleasant words, for example (cf. Col. 4:6). You grant the other person a favor,
As God is well pleased toward a man (second meaning).
Let the charis of God be your example in how you treat others.
In the third and fourth meanings, it is about the attitude of gratitude and the consequences of the favor or grace received. Let the charis of God be your example in how you deal with others. The same is true in dealing with the gifts of the Spirit. Without the character of God, all charisms are dwarfed (1 Cor. 13).
