“Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?”
Romans 2:4 KJV
Paul is asking pertinent questions from us! Do the riches of God’s extraordinary kindness make us take Him for granted and despise Him? Haven’t we experienced how kind and understanding He has been to us? Let’s not mistake His tolerance for acceptance. Do we realise that all the wealth of His extravagant kindness is meant to melt our heart and lead us into repentance? How can we underestimate God’s kindness. The wealth of His benevolence and His resolute refusal to let go of us is because He continues to hear the echo of His likeness in us! Thus His patient passion is to shepherd everyone into a radical mind shift. It is the revelation of God’s goodness that leads us to repentance; it is not our repentance that leads to God’s goodness. Thank You Jesus for revealing God’s goodness to all mankind! Amen!
