God's kindness leads to repentance

Romans 2:4

Do you show contempt for the richness of someone else's kindness towards not the deserving but those who seem fit only to receive wrath and suffering.

We meet many people along life's path. Some are so outright repulsive that you wonder how anyone can not be annoyed or irritated by his obnoxious selfish behaviour.

Yet in Christ we are to show forbearance and patience to such as these. We are to love them with the love that comes from the Father. One that could only have been imparted upon us through the Blood of the Lamb when He made the sacrifice of His Body on Cross at Calvary.

For it isn't our kindness that leads others to Salvation. But so that man may realise all glory goes back and shall always belong to the Father now and forever more.

It is God's kindness which is intended to lead one to repentance.

Harsh discipline does not lead to repentance, loving kindness shown through grace does
