1 John 4:8 (NIV) 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
ʻO ka mea e aloha ʻole ana, ʻaʻole ia i ʻike aku i ke Akua; no ka mea, he aloha ke Akua.
Akahai: kindness expressed with tenderness

Matthew 11:28-30 NIV28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
AKAHAI: Modest, Gentle, Unassuming, Unpretentious and Meek (Hawaiian Dictionary 1986)
1. AKAHAI in the Invitation of Jesus
2. AKAHAI in the Nature of Jesus
3. AKAHAI in the Rest of Jesus
AKAHAI isn’t something we create or earn
AKAHAI is something we receive from God
Galatians 5:22-24 (NIV) 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness (AKAHAI) and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
