Reflections

Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? Romans 2:4

It really is upsetting when Christians portray God as an angry God ready to pass judgment on unbelievers.  God is not sitting on this throne with a lightning bolt in hand ready to strike the world.  Instead God shows kindness to bring people to repentance.

God desires that all should come to repentance.  It is also our responsibility to show kindness to all people, just as God does.  Don’t you know that kindness will silence your enemies?  That is why Jesus told us to love our enemies and bless those that curse us.  So let us not think lightly of the kindness of God but thank Him for His many blessings.
