'Don't you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can't you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?' ( Romans 2:4).
Paul recognised the haughtiness and presumptuousness of the Jews, as God's special people which led them to show contempt for the riches of God's kindness, forbearance and patience. This attitude allow them to be judgemental about the Gentiles and complacent about their own sin. Let us take heed and be mindful of of having a judgemental attitude that we miss God's goodness, his patience and his tolerance. It is the tolerance and patience of God towards us that leads us to confess our faults, turn from our sins and be returned to that sweet fellowship with Him. God's goodness is manifested in "long suffering and forbearance." His will and desire are for us not to perish, but that we should come to repentance. He did that for us at a high cost, the death of His Son. What a long suffering God we serve!
God is indeed good because His nature is infinitely good; there is nothing that has absolutely perfect goodness but God. Be grateful for each day you're awake to the light of a new day; that God has kept you; you're still breathing. Another day to do God's will, to worship and hear the preaching of His Word; to heed to His invitation to come to Him. Is God now justifying His goodness towards you? The riches of God's goodness is immeasurable - His greatness, the abundance of His kindness and patience towards us sinful beings. Look around you, look within you and behold the richness of God's goodness. Who can meditate on His goodness and not feel the call to repentance?
God has given us time and opportunity to turn to him. His grace give you the invitation to come to him, He is waiting to welcome you with open arms. Today, reflect on God's goodness and His patience. His goodness supplies our wants, His patience bears with our sins. His goodness is for ever but His patience may end tomorrow. So let's take hold of Jesus as He patiently calls us to Him.
Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹
