Romans 2:4 (AMP) Or are you [so blind as to] trifle with and presume upon and despise and underestimate the wealth of His kindness and forbearance and long-suffering patience? Are you unmindful or actually ignorant [of the fact] that God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repent (to change your mind and inner man to accept God’s will)?
Have you heard the expression, “You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar?” This expression simply means we can get what we want by being kind instead of hostile or mean.
God works in the same way. God desires for everyone to repent and be saved (1 Tim 2:3). Instead of executing His wrath and vengeance on us when we miss the mark, He decides to show His loving-kindness so that everyone can experience the true nature of God.
That’s why He will bless us knowing we don’t deserve it. That’s why He will heal our bodies when we should be in this condition forever. That’s why He saved mankind through Jesus Christ when we were destined for hell.
Never abuse His grace and mercy. God’s love is to lead us to repentance.
